Jere L. Bacharach (editor), Fustat Finds: Beads, Coin, Medical Instruments, Textiles, and Other Artifacts from the Awad Collection, The American University in Cairo Press, Cairo, 2002, 235 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. This wonderfully done book contains two good articles on numismatics, the first by Domaszewicz, Lidia and Michael L. Bates. Copper Coinage of Egypt in the Seventh Century: Discussion and categorization of ten types of thick dumpy copper coins from Egypt. All are of Byzantine style. Five types were determined to be Roman Byzantine issues, three were Byzantine types struck under Arab rule, and two were of uncertain attribution. Thirty-four coins from the ANS collection are illustrated. Nice detailed study of these early Byzantine and Arab-Byzantine coppers. The second article by Eldada, Katharina. Glass weights and vessel stamps: A description of 92 glass weights and vessel stamps from the ANS collection. Seventeen were previously unpublished. They are from the Umayyads and Abbasids in Egypt. Twenty of the pieces are photographed in the article. All have Arabic legends written out with translations into English, ex James Farr Collection Library.
