The study of tree-rings provides a key resource for determining dates for archaeological and other contexts where wood/charcoal is present and for investigating past climate and environment. This rich collection of papers by an international authorship provides wide-ranging and up-to-date dendrochronological discussions and assessments on a number of key topics concerning the chronology and environment of the central to east Mediterranean and Near East.

A Manual of Egyptian Pottery, Volume 1 (Fayum A - Lower Egyptian Culture) & Volume 2 (Naqada III - Middle Kingdom)
New to our warehouse are the much-anticipated first two volumes of AERA’s Manual of Egyptian Pottery. An eventual four-book set covering all Egyptian pottery, the manuals are ordered chronologically, ranging from the earliest ceramics to modern Egyptian pottery. Ceramic types are illustrated with a line drawing, accompanied by a description of the pot's material, manufacturing techniques, surface treatment, and shape; color plates of representative ceramic types are also included. Introductory chapters covering the basics of pottery manufacture and analysis, suggested reading lists, and bibliographies for each period will prove this set invaluable to students and experienced field archaeologists alike, as will its binding choice of either paperback or spiral-bound. Watch for Volumes 3 (Second Intermediate through the Late Period) and 4 (Ptolemaic through Modern Period) in late 2009!

Hunter-Gatherer Foraging: Five Simple Models
This useful primer on foraging models relevant to the study of hunter-gatherers, already reasonably priced at $29.50, is, until its publication this in October, available from us at the very handsome price of $23.00.
It is intended for students new to the subject matter, especially those with little mathematical training, and similarly challenged ethnographers, ethnologists, and archaeologists who are familiar with the principles of foraging theory but have never mastered any of its individual models.
