The volume under review contains a much needed synthesis of the major industries and technologies of the ancient Near East. Although the geographical emphasis is on Mesopotamia, the author's range extends from Anatolia to the Indus Valley and from central Asia to the Arabian Peninsula. The chronological focus is on the Bronze and Iron Ages within the above regions. The book is an indispensable guide to the archaeological discoveries, physico-chemical analysis, and textual references pertaining to the crafts of pottery, metal, glass, faience, and stone working, and to the role of bricks, mortar, and plaster in architectural construction
