Product Description
by Michael Allen Stephens (Author)
This book - a continuation of the author's previous BAR work "A Categorisation and Examination of Egyptian Ships and Boats from the Rise of the Old to the End of the Middle Kingdoms" (BAR Publishing 2358, 2012) - brings together disparate strands of the study of ships and boats of the Egyptian New Kingdom. It collates previous categorisation systems for these watercraft and presents an overall system for ships and boats. Deck structures, mast and rigging and aspects of hull construction are also classified. This project will be an important addition to knowledge of Ancient Egyptian ships of the New Kingdom, and in combination with the author's previous volume, will be the first work to deal comprehensively with boats and ships throughout all periods of Ancient Egypt.
