dc.description.abstract	"In this book, Richard Redding synthesizes his decades-long work on the ancient agricultural economy of Egypt. Drawing on a diverse range of data, including zooarchaeology, ancient texts, and iconographic sources, he explores the role of cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs in the economic infrastructure of ancient, mainly pharaonic, Egypt and the complexities of decision-making processes that shaped the use and management of these vital livestock resources"-- Provided by publisher	en_US
