Ancient Egyptian Ships and Boats. Soundly based on archaeological evidence, this is a detailed study of the ways in which Egyptians engineered, manufactured and used ancient vessels. Ward widens the discussion to consider ancient engineering and shipbuilding in general and considers the economic, cultural and political context of Egyptian ships and water transport.

Ancient Civilizations

Born out of a "water colloquium" at the AIA Annual Meeting, this volume focuses on Roman water use, supply, storage, and distribution in a variety of ancient cities, including Syracuse, Agrigento, Pompeii, Rome, Athens, and several cities in Roman North Africa. The contributors are an international group of scholars whose research provides important new perspectives on a number of ancient hydraulic problems, which are richly illustrated here.
