It consists of the study of actual examples of footwear, augmented by pictorial and textual evidence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume evaluates, summarises and discusses the results of the study of  footwear carried out by the AEFP for the last 10 years (which includes the objects in the major collections in the world, such as the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, as well as from various excavations, such as Amarna, Elephantine and Dra Abu el-Naga). All published material is depicted and some previously unpublished material is added here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The work on physical examples of footwear has brought to light exciting new insights into ancient Egyptian technology and craftsmanship (including its development but also in the relationships of various footwear categories and their origin), establishing and refining the dating of technologies and styles of footwear, the diversity of footwear, provided a means of identification of provenance for unprovenanced examples, and the relationship between footwear and socio-economic status. The archaeometrical research has lead to the reinterpretation of ancient Egyptian words for various vegetal materials, such as papyrus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003eShort History of Footwear in Egyptology\u003cbr\u003eResearch Objectives\u003cbr\u003eLayout of the Present Work\u003cbr\u003eTerminology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Materials and Methods\u003cbr\u003eStudied Objects\u003cbr\u003eMethods\u003cbr\u003eHands-On Study\u003cbr\u003eVegetal Materials (Other than Wood)\u003cbr\u003eSkin and Leather\u003cbr\u003eWood\u003cbr\u003eMetal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Archaeological Context: A Problematic Inheritance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Museological Context: Problems and Priorities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Description\u003cbr\u003eFootwear Made of Vegetal Material (Other than Wood)\u003cbr\u003eSandals\u003cbr\u003eShoes\u003cbr\u003eFootwear Made of Leather\u003cbr\u003eSandals\u003cbr\u003eShoes\u003cbr\u003eMules\u003cbr\u003eFootwear Made of Wood\u003cbr\u003eTomb Sandals\u003cbr\u003ePattens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Typology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Materials Used in Footwear\u003cbr\u003eVegetal Materials (Other than Wood)\u003cbr\u003eThe Samples\u003cbr\u003eÄgyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Berlin\u003cbr\u003eThe Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London\u003cbr\u003eThe British Museum, London\u003cbr\u003eDiscussion\u003cbr\u003eSkin and Leather\u003cbr\u003eWood\u003cbr\u003eMetal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Diachronic Change\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eTechnology\u003cbr\u003eShape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Distribution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Production\u003cbr\u003eTanneries, Workshops and Craftsmen\u003cbr\u003eTools\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Use, Wear and Repair\u003cbr\u003eSigns of Use\u003cbr\u003eWear\u003cbr\u003eEvidence of Repair\u003cbr\u003eUtility Footwear vs. Footwear for the Afterlife\u003cbr\u003eRoyal vs. Commoners\u003cbr\u003eGender in Footwear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Symbolism and Status\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foreign Footwear and Influences in Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789088907333\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9789088907333","offer_id":20002636955741,"sku":"9789088907333","price":255.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e3be7c19-3c2b-4d67-b6fd-cb38143f88d1.jpg?v=1748413954","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-ancient-egyptian-footwear-project-von-firstname-andre-j-veldmeijer-lastname-1","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
