Author: Volken, Marquita
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9789089321176
Description: Zwolle: SPA Uitgevers, 2014. 28cm., hardcover, 408pp. prof. illus. English text. Summary: After 20 years of research, the principles for making ancient shoe patterns have been rediscovered. The knowledge of how to make a shoe pattern was certainly the ancient shoemaker's most closely guarded secret, passed from master to apprentice but never written down. Now, this comprehensive guide to European archaeological footwear will soon be published. It is richly illustrated with drawings and photographs of archaeological leather shoe finds and shoe reconstructions. A catalogue presents each named shoe style along with the cutting patterns used, a concise description and a full list of the published examples. The volume also includes a short history of calceological studies, case studies, the fundamental research methods and an overview of shoe sole/upper contstructions for archaeological leather shoes.
