On this fresh and engaging volume, Denys A. Stocks examines the archaeological and pictorial evidence for masonry in ancient Egypt. Through a series of experiments wherein he tests and evaluates over 2 hundred reconstructed and replica tools, he brings alive the methods and practices of ancient Egyptian craftworking, highlighting the innovations and advances made by this remarkable civilisation.

This practical way to figuring out the fundamentals of ancient Egyptian stoneworking shows the evolution of tools and techniques, and how these come together to provide the wonders of Egyptian art and architecture.

Comprehensively illustrated with over 2 hundred photographs and drawings, Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology will bring a fresh point of view to the puzzles of Egyptian craft and technology. By combining the information of a up to date engineer with the approach of an archaeologist and historian, Denys Stocks has created a work to be able to capture the imagination of all Egyptology scholars and enthusiasts
