Veldmeijer Format: Paperback Type: Paperback ISBN-10: 9088903719 EAN: 9789088903717 ISBN: 9789088903717 Publisher: Sidestone Press Genre: History Release Date: 31/01/2017 Language: English Country/Region of Manufacture: NL Item Height: 280mm Item Length: 210mm Release Year: 2017 Description: ‘Leatherwork from Elephantine’ describes, illustrates and analyses the finds from the excavations at Elephantine island (Aswan, Egypt) that are conducted by the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), in collaboration with the Swiss Institute for Architectural and Archaeological Research on Ancient Egypt (SI). The majority of the finds are dated to periods well after the pharaonic era (4th century AD onwards), save for a few finds from the New Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom. The majority of finds are sandals and shoes. Most important for leatherwork/footwear studies, however, is the footwear from the Persian layers (6th-5th c. BC), which is distinctly different from ancient Egyptian leatherwork. Ample attention will be given to this important group. Missing Information?
