Abstract
THIS book deals with a branch of prehistoric archaeology in the Nile valley which the late Mr. Lucas made especially his own. So often prehistorians are mainly concerned with early sequence dating and a classification of the ancient objects found. But Mr. Lucas was interested in the details of the manufacture of everyday objects and of how and whence the necessary materials were obtained.
