Very faint spotting to top of textblock else book is fine. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; Archaic Naukratis was a busy trading place in the Western Delta of the Nile, renowned for its sanctuaries and courtesans, granting the Greeks access to Egyptian grain and luxury items. Now, more than one hundred years after the discovery and excavation of Naukratis, the author offers the first full-length analysis of the archaeology and archaic history of this important site. Although Naukratis always features in modern accounts of ancient Greek colonization, it was not a place where the Greeks could freely establish their own political and social organization--it was under the strict control of the Egyptian pharaoh and his officials. To understand the special status of Naukratis, the author takes the port of trade model, surveying the political, social, and economic background of both Late Period Egypt and archaic Greece. A major section of the book comprises an archaeological re-evaluation of the topography of archaic Naukratis and its material finds. The sanctuaries, archaic pottery styles, terracottas, faiences, statuettes, and other small finds are examined in the light of recent scholarship, and an in-depth study of the literary evidence is brought to bear on the archaeological material. This book comprises a significant contribution to our understanding of Graeco-Egyptian relations during the seventh and sixth centuries BC and also demonstrates that Polanyian economic theory can play an invaluable rôle in the ongoing debate about the concepts best employed to analyse the ancient Greek economy. ; Oxford Monographs on Classical Archaeology; 328 pages

This is a very good copy in a plastic comb binding (intact), stiff paper covers printed in color with Hamilton paper sample names: 'Weycroft', 'Andorra', 'Victorian', 'Louvain', 'Carousel', 'Kashmir', 'Gainsborough', etc. No date but ca. 1970's. Each of the 8 paper sample sections has a color printed title page with the different paper weights and characteristics available in that sample, followed by a number of blank sheets in different colors that are available with that sample. Catalog designed by S. Neil Fujita who did all the decorations on the covers and individual title pages, in a playful abstract style. The cover design is signed, also the colophon lists Neil Fujita as the designer of the catalog. Sadamitsu "S. Neil" Fujita (1921- 2010) was an American graphic designer known for his innovative book cover and record album designs. Afficionados will know his works, for example the album covers he designed for Dave Brubeck, like the Time Out album (with the tune Take Five). A number of his book dust jacket designs were memorable, for example the one for Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood', and perhaps his best, the one for Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather'. 11" high X 10" wide. All printing in offset lithography. Rare. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
