Facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders Petrie's 1917 pioneering typological catalog of Egyptian metal, wooden and composite tools and weapons, one of a number of such catalogs to be reissued in this new series. The volume is arranged by category, first of general tools, including axes, chisels and knives, and then weapons, such as daggers and spears. This is followed by sections on woodworking (artisans') and builders' tools, personal items, agricultural equipment and a range of domestic items. Within each category, sub-categories are defined, described and discussed and the full range is illustrated as outline drawings and photographs across 79 plates. The catalog addresses questions of chronology, typological development, and distribution, and provides a limited discussion of comparable material from outside Egypt.
