"In this new edition of Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology Denys A. Stocks introduces
further experimental research on stoneworking in Ancient Egypt through archaeological
and pictorial evidence. A further 20 years of research has been added to the original
publication and the book now includes the results of experiments that test and evaluate
over two hundred and fifty reconstructed and replica tools, bringing alive the methods
and practices of ancient Egyptian craftworking. This practical approach to understanding
the fundamentals of ancient Egyptian stoneworking highlights the evolution of tools
and techniques, and how these come together to produce the wonders of Egyptian art
and architecture. A new chapter on predynastic industrial transitions and convergence
explores how the surge in technology, particularly in the expanding production of
stone vessels and in the production of faience artefacts, drove the expansion of the
economy of the Late Predynastic period in Egypt. Introducing the results of new research
to enrich our understanding of the fundamental development of stoneworking, and other,
supporting technologies, in Ancient Egypt, this book remains an important volume for
students and researchers wishing to understand Ancient Egyptian technology and development"
