Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This pioneering volume brings together specialists from contemporary craft and industry and from archaeology to examine both the material properties and the cultural dimensions of leather. The common occurrence of animal skin products through time, whether vegetable tanned leather, parchment, vellum, fat-cured skins or rawhide attest to its enduring versatility, utility and desirability. Typically grouped together as ¿leather¿, the versatility of these materials is remarkable: they can be soft and supple like a textile, firm and rigid like a basket, or hard and watertight like a pot or gourd. This volume challenges a simple utilitarian or functional approach to leather; in a world of technological and material choices, leather is appropriated according to its suitability on many levels. In addressing the question Why leather authors of this volume present new perspectives on the material and cultural dimensions of leather. Their wide-ranging research includes the microscopic examination of skin structure and its influence on behaviour, experiments on medieval cuir bouilli armour, the guild secrets behind the leather components of nineteenth-century industrial machinery, new research on ancient Egyptian chariot leather, the relationship between wine and wineskins, and the making of contemporary leather wall covering.The Archaeological Leather Group promotes the study of leather and leather objects from archaeological and other contexts. The Group aims to provide a focus for the investigation of leather, and to develop new research by bringing together a broad range of knowledge and experience both practical and academic. Leather is explored through its manufacture, function, context, processing, recording, conservation, care and curation. Members come from a variety of disciplines and include archaeologists, historians, conservators, artefact specialists, materials engineers and leather workers. The Group normally meets twice a year and organises one scholarly meeting in the spring, and visits a museum, working tannery or other place of leather interest in the autumn. The Archaeological Leather Group Newsletter is published twice a year, and the website maintains a comprehensive and expanding leather bibliography.ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -One hundred years ago, Howard Carter, working for Lord Carnarvon, made one of the most important archaeological discoveries of all times in the Valley of the Kings (Luxor, Egypt): the nearly intact tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (ca. 1335-1325 BC). In addition to the king¿s body, the tomb contained well over 5000 objects, which were recovered, conserved and recorded by Carter and his team. The fabulous treasures, such as the gold coffins, funerary mask, jewellery, as well as the six near complete chariots are well known. The tomb, however, yielded a wide variety of objects, both sacred and secular, including some that are less elaborately decorated with precious materials but which are, from a scientific point of view, perhaps even more interesting (and enigmatic).Many objects from the tomb still remain unstudied. Those that have been published consist of specific groups, for example: thrones, chairs and stools; the bows; musical instruments; game boxes; the gold shrine or the stone vessels. This work examines the tomb and its contents through an unusual lens: leather and other animal-based soft tissue products that were used in creating some of the tomb¿s contents.Through a study of these artefacts, the reader is guided through the surprising and complex world of leatherworking in ancient Egypt, focussing on the numerous different leather objects from the tomb that are either made entirely from or include leather. These include chariots and their accoutrements, weapons, and gloves, as well as hitherto unpublished finds.This approach offers new insights in ancient Egyptian technology as well as in the production and use of specific materials and objects. The findings are discussed in the wider framework of the development and organisation of the leather industry in New Kingdom Egypt.The present work also includes chapters with suggestions about how to study archaeological leather and an update on leather use in the New Kingdom.Contents1.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume describes, illustrates, and analysis the finds from the excavations at Drä Abu el-Naga, an important necropolis on the east bank of the Nile in Luxor (Egypt), which was in use from Middle Kingdom times until the early Christian era. Excavations of the site have been conducted by the German Archaeological Institute (DAI).A wide variety of leather objects or objects with leather parts have been discovered, including footwear, musical objects, loincloths as well as parts of furniture. The dating of these objects, mirroring the variety, ranges from Pharaonic to Ottoman. The present work describes these finds in detail, accompanied by colour photographs and drawings. The analysis includes the discussion of the provenance of the finds, the interpretation of the objects from a technological as well as typological point of view and dating.(With contributions by Daniel Polz and Ute Rummel)ContentsIntroductionThe Archaeological Investigations of Drä Abu el-Naga (by Daniel Polz and Ute Rummel)Researching LeatherMaterials and MethodsTerminologyQuantity and Breakdown by Functional GroupsProvenance (by Daniel Polz and Ute Rummel)Introductory RemarksProvenance of Leather Objects According to Find Numbers (FN)AnalysisFootwear: SandalsFootwear: ShoesClothingFurnitureBelts, Straps, Cordage and Related ObjectsBook CoversMummy-BracesMusical InstrumentsWaste and OffcutsBags and Other ContainersFinal ConsiderationsBibliographyCatalogueFootwear: SandalsFootwear: ShoesFurnitureBelts, Straps, Cordage and Related ObjectsBags and Other ContainersBook CoversMummy-BracesClothingWaste and OffcutsMusical InstrumentsMiscellaneousUnidentifiedConcordanceBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 220 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -¿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.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 210 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The discovery of Tutankhamun¿s tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time. It took Carter and his team 10 years to clear the contents of the tomb and among the objects found was a large collection of shoes and sandals. The footwear is analysed here in detail for the first time since the discovery using Carter¿s records and Harry Burton¿s excellent photographs along with the author¿s analyses of the objects, all of which are housed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo and the Luxor Museum. Several specialists contributed to the volume discussing the different materials (gold, vegetable fibre, birch bark, glass and faience, leather, gemstones) that were used in the footwear. Tutankhamun¿s footwear is compared with other finds in order to be able to put it in a broader context. The footwear from the tomb of Yuya and Tjuiu, the King¿s great-grandparents, are, therefore, analysed as well. In addition to the analysis, footwear in texts and two- and three-dimensional art is considered.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 312 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Ancient Egyptian Footwear Project (AEFP) is a multidisciplinary, ongoing research of footwear in ancient Egypt from the Predynastic through the Ottoman Periods. It consists of the study of actual examples of footwear, augmented by pictorial and textual evidence.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.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.ContentsPrefaceIntroductionShort History of Footwear in EgyptologyResearch ObjectivesLayout of the Present WorkTerminologyMaterials and MethodsStudied ObjectsMethodsHands-On StudyVegetal Materials (Other than Wood)Skin and LeatherWoodMetalArchaeological Context: A Problematic InheritanceMuseological Context: Problems and PrioritiesDescriptionFootwear Made of Vegetal Material (Other than Wood)SandalsShoesFootwear Made of LeatherSandalsShoesMulesFootwear Made of WoodTomb SandalsPattensTypologyMaterials Used in FootwearVegetal Materials (Other than Wood)The SamplesÄgyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, BerlinThe Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College LondonThe British Museum, LondonDiscussionSkin and LeatherWoodMetalDiachronic ChangeIntroductionTechnologyShapeDistributionProductionTanneries, Workshops and CraftsmenToolsUse, Wear and RepairSigns of UseWearEvidence of RepairUtility Footwear vs. Footwear for the AfterlifeRoyal vs. CommonersGender in FootwearSymbolism and StatusForeign Footwear and Influences in EgyptConclusionsBibliographyBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 248 pp. Englisch.
