Brilliant Things for Akhenaten: The Production of Glass, Vitreous Materials and Pottery at Amarna Site 0.45.1

by Paul T. Nicholson

This book examines the coming of glass to Egypt and its relationship to the production of faience and pottery, particularly at Amarna site O45.1. The text combines excavated evidence with experimental archaeology and laboratory analyses to give a reconstruction of the production of glass and other materials at Amarna, both in terms of technology and social context. The excavations carried out by Flinders Petrie at Amarna (18912) are reassessed in the light of the new work and finds from that time put into a broader perspective. 394p, b/w illus, tabs, CD with images (Excavation Memoirs 80, Egypt Exploration Society 2007)

Review Quote

"The combination of excavated detail and experimental reconstruction produces a well-rounded and argued volume."
