Ian Shaw, FSA (born 1961) is a British academic and Egyptologist, who was formerly Reader in Egyptian Archaeology at the University of Liverpool.[1]
His field work was largely focused in el-Amarna, but in recent times, he has done extensive excavations of mining and quarrying sites from various Ancient Egyptian periods. He primarily focuses his recent work on methods and mechanics of Egyptian craftsmen and laborers. However, he has produced several works regarding ancient Egyptian warfare; a topic that had long been ignored or only briefly commented on by other researchers.
Besides writing original books, he also has edited several "dictionaries" of Ancient Egypt (which might more correctly be labeled "encyclopedias"; they are in no way lexicons).
On 15 March 2018, Shaw was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA).[2]
