This book examines the technology of making this vitreous material and outlines its long history, which stretches from early Predynastic times to the end of pharaonic Egypt and beyond. The range of uses found for faience, from amulets to large vessels, is examined and some of the reasons for its popularity discussed. About the author Paul Nicholson studied Archaeology and Prehistory at the University of Sheffield. He has specialised in Egyptian crafts and technology, especially ceramics, and has led two ethno-archaeological expeditions to study contemporary pottery-making in Egypt.
