The definitions and explanations assoicated with basketry and cordage are returned to in the third section, in order to prevent unnecessary turning of pages. The second section is basically an account of the recording, identification, cleaning, first aid conservation, and storage of the objects; the third section offers a quantitative view of the material and a survey of types of basketry and cordage found at Amarna. In addition, this section highlights a number of special objects and techniques. 35 bound pages.
