Ancient Egypt
This book provides an introduction to one of the greatest civilization of all time - ancient Egypt. Beginning with a geographical overview that explains the development of Egyptian belief systems as well as its subsequent political development, it examines methodology, the history of the discipline of Egyptology, religion, social organization, urban and rural life, and death. It also includes a section on how people of all ranks lived. Lavishly illustrated, with many unusual photographs of rarely seen sites that are seldom illustrated, this volume is suitable for use in introductory-level courses on ancient Egypt. It offers a variety of student-friendly features, including a glossary, a bibliography, and a list of sources for those who wish to further their interest in ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egyptian Anchors and the Sea
Pierced stones, many identified as anchors, are found on many ancient sites in and around the Mediterranean, although they are notoriously difficult to date due to their frequent lack of archaeological context and attribution to a particular site, locale or people. This short volume presents a catalogue of more than 200 anchors from the site of Marsa Matruh on the north coast of Africa, discussed within the context of Egyptian anchors found elsewhere, and within our current knowledge of Egyptian seafaring.
An Archaeological Discussion of Writing Practice
This book focuses on the archaeology of ancient Egyptian communication technologies, exploring the definitions and the material culture of ancient Egyptian writing practice. In contrast with older approaches that define writing as a system of social separation, writing is explored as a practice-based form of sharing visual information. This research identifies forms of writing that include non-linguistic systems and scripts, in addition to scripts that verbalize linguistic content. The author maintains that a communication system based on written marks sets the roots for social interaction rather than exclusion.
