Summary:

"Drawing on more than 20 years of archaeological study and investigation at Zawiyet Umm el-Rakham, this book paints a nuanced picture of daily life not only at this liminal military site, but also in Ramesside Egypt more broadly. Focusing on the various subsistence and craft production strategies that were conducted alongside each other in Area K of the fortress, it sheds new light on what life was like for ordinary Egyptians"-- Provided by publisher.
