这是一项关于前王朝和法老时期（公元前5500 -332年）五千年来古埃及人采购和加工原材料的研究。在这段时间里，不仅有特定类型的人工制品的首选材料的变化，而且技术变化的渐进过程，铜器时代的工业得到了补充，有时被青铜器和铁器时代的创新所取代。所涉及的主题包括采石，寺庙和金字塔的建造，保存肉，鱼和家禽的技术，玻璃和彩陶，面包的烘烤，啤酒的酿造，油和香水的制备，以及人类和动物的木乃伊化。每一章都是由一位或多位专家撰写的，不仅利用了传统的考古学技能，而且还利用了自然科学中应用于考古数据的专业知识。
This is a study of the procurement and processing of raw materials employed by the ancient Egyptians over the five millennia of the Predynastic and Pharaonic periods (c.5500–332 BC). During this time, not only were there variations in the preferred materials for particular types of artefacts, but also gradual processes of technological change, and the industries of the Chalcolithic period were complemented and sometimes superseded by the innovations of the Bronze and Iron Ages. Among the topics covered are stone quarrying, the building of temples and pyramids, techniques for preserving meat, fish, and poultry, glass and faience, the baking of bread, brewing of beers, preparation of oils and perfumes, and the mummification of humans and animals. Each chapter has been written by one or more specialists, drawing not only on conventional Egyptological skills but also on expertise in the natural sciences as applied to archaeological data.
