  • The Egyptian Predynastic and State Formation
    J Archaeol Res DOI 10.1007/s10814-016-9094-7 The Egyptian Predynastic and State Formation Alice Stevenson1 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract When the archaeology of Predynastic Egypt was last appraised in this journal, Savage (2001a, p. 101) expressed optimism that ‘‘a consensus appears to be developing that stresses the gradual development of complex society in Egypt.’’ The picture today is less clear, with new data and alternative theoretical frameworks challenging received wisdom over the pace, direction, and nature of complex social change. Rather than an inexorable march to the beat of the neo-evolutionary drum, primary state formation in Egypt can be seen as a more syncopated phenomenon, characterized by periods of political experimentation and shifting social boundaries. Notably, field projects in Sudan and the Egyptian Delta together with new dating techniques have set older narratives of development into broader frames of refer- ence. In contrast to syntheses that have sought to measure abstract thresholds of complexity, this review of the period between c. 4500 BC and c. 3000 BC tran- scends analytical categories by adopting a practice-based examination of multiple dimensions of social inequality and by considering how the early state may have become a lived reality in Egypt around the end of the fourth millennium BC. Keywords State formation Á Social complexity Á Neo-evolutionary theory Á Practice theory Á Kingship Á Predynastic Egypt Introduction Forty years ago, the sociologist Abrams (1988, p. 63) famously spoke of the difficulty of studying that most ‘‘spurious of sociological objects’’—the modern state.

They are amply attested at several sites in Egypt, in the Early Dynastic Period as potmarks, and in the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms as potmarks, builders’ and quarry marks. The use of identity marks for individual workmen, however, and the extent to which they were used on ostraca for administrative purposes are peculiar to Deir el-Medina and the Theban necropolis. Also, the intensity of applying the marks in private context on personal objects such as neck supports, pots, bowls, stools, combs and linen found in the village, the workmen’s huts as well as in tombs, and their use in graffiti throughout the Theban mountains is unique for the community. How can we explain this? To what extent are the marks from Deir el-Medina a continuation of earlier practices? Why and when do we begin to observe the trend toward individuality and personal use? In this chapter we discuss the marks from the Theban necropolis in a broader Egyptian context in order to find out how the system came about, in form as well as in function and usage. We begin with a discussion of potmarks (section 1), followed by a discussion of builders’ marks (section 2), and finally a discussion of quarry marks (section 3).

  • Introduction
    Introduction 1. GOALS This monograph is an attempt at presenting the development of the Nile Delta in the Predynastic period. Particular attention will be paid to the role played by the contacts between the Delta communities and the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age societies from Southern Levant. Many researchers of the ancient Near East have already presented their interpretations of the Egyptian-Southern Levantine contacts. They concentrate primarily on analyzing im- ports from Southern Levant found in Egypt, dated to the Protodynastic period and the beginnings of the Early Dynastic period, as well as Egyptian imports in Southern Levant dated to the end of the Early Bronze Age I and Early Bronze Age II (i.e. Yadin 1955; Yeivin 1960; 1967; 1968; Ward 1963: 1-4; 1964: 121-135; Amiran 1970; 1974; Gophna 1976; 1987; 1992; 1995b; Ben-Tor 1982; 1986; 1991; Tutundžić 1985; 1989; Brandl 1992; van den Brink 1992b; 2002; Andelković 1995; de Miroshedji & Sadek 2000a; 2000b; 2005; de Miroschedji et al. 2001; Hartung 2001; Kansa & Levy 2002; Levy & van den Brink 2002; Paz et al. 2005; van den Brink & Gophna 2004; Braun 2004; 2011; van den Brink & Braun 2006; Braun & van den Brink 2008; Dessel 2009; Sowada 2009; Czarnowicz 2011). Thus far, more com- prehensive attempts at interpreting Egyptian-Southern Levantine relationships in the early Predynastic period have not been taken, mostly due to the scarcity of source materials. However, intensified excavations in the Nile Delta and today’s Israel and Jordan in the re- cent years have brought materials that shed new light on the origins of Egyptian-Canaanite contacts (Mączyńska 2006; 2008; Braun & van den Brink 2008; Czarnowicz 2012b).

    CENTRE D’ARCHÉOLOGIE MÉDITERRANÉENNE DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XIX 2001 KAROL MYŚLIWIEC “Nothing is impossible” – the Professor and the Academy 10 KAROL MYŚLIWIEC Professor Kazimierz Micha³owski, the Father of Mediterranean Archaeology in Po- land, was a man of belief. Although he believed in various things, one of his most fre- quently repeated principles was that everything is possible, if one desires it enough. Nothing illustrates this better than his own biography. He never gave up, not even in the long years of complete darkness (19391956), when cherishing any hope in Poland seemed rather naive and ridiculous. As soon as the slightest ray of light had appeared on the horizon, he immediately ran towards it with the enthusiasm of a child, forgetting that he was al- ready fifty six years old. What is more, this was happening more than fifteen years after the outbreak of World War II had dramatically interrupted his activities in the Mediterra- nean (in Edfu). Younger generations can hardly imagine the post-war reality, when merely obtaining permission to visit a Western country became an event comparable to todays expeditions to the moon, and many scholars were completely deprived of that possibility for politicals reasons. 1.

In Upper Egypt, there is a clear trend over the period towards greater investment in mortuary facilities and rituals, experimentation in body treatments, and increasing disparity in burial form and content between a small number of elite and a larger non-elite population. In Maadi/Buto contexts in Lower Egypt, pit burials remained simple with minimal differentiation and less of a focus upon display-orientated rituals. يأتي الكم اﻷكبر من الدﻻئل اﻷثرية التي تشھد على عصر ما قبل التاريخ (القرن الرابع قبل الميﻻد) من الدفنات، فيوجد بمصر العليا اھتمام واضح خﻻل ھذه الفترة الزمنية باﻻماكن الجنائزية والطقوس، واختبار طرق جديدة لمعالجة اﻷجساد، ويظھر أيضاً بھذا الوقت فجوة كبيرة ما بين دفنات علية القوم واﻷغلبية العظمى من عامة الشعب.

  • Kolodziejczyk
    Lower Egypt in modern research on state formation in Egypt Piotr Kołodziejczyk In the mid of september 2005 in Tulouse (France) the II-nd International Conference “Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt - Origin of the State” has ended. The first conference, which took place in Cracow in 2002 gave a new impulse for researchers and scientists dealing with all the aspects of the origin of state of pharaohs. Until quite lately the Nile Delta was one of white spot’s on the archeological map of Egypt. It is obvious today that last years brought great changes in research progress and in our knowledge on this area. This progress requires verification of many theory‘s about participation of the Nile Delta in the Egyptian state formation. The history of research on prepharaonic Egypt reaches second half of the 19th century and its beginnings and biggest discoveries are related with Upper Egypt. First finds from the second half of the 19th century were not correctly classified. Between 1894 – 1895 the large predynastic cemetaries in Naqada and Ballas were excavated by W.M.F. Petrie i J.E. Quibell. These investigations brought about new discoveries which became a base for the new Petrie’s theory about new race that possessed Egypt during the Middle Kingdom period. After several years of investigations which included excavations in Abadieh and Hu cemeteries (1901) and under influence of J. De Morgan’s work (1896-1897) who was the first one having remarked the existence of earlier stages, Petrie verified his former views and linked up those early finds with predynastic period.

  • Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent
    A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to professional malacologists but also people interested in the field of archaeology, geology, etc.

  • TELL EL-GINN Project (Eastern Delta) (Egypt 2004)
    [email protected] www.grepal.org TELL EL-GINN Project (Eastern Delta) (Egypt 2004) July 2003 TELL EL-GINN Project (Eastern Delta) (Egypt 2004) Luc Watrin July 2003 TELL EL-GINN Tell el-Ginn, meaning “Djinn’s Hill”, is located in Lower-Egypt in the north-eastern Delta around 150 km from Cairo1. In the 4th millennium this site was situated along a tributary of the Nile and on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea (the present-day coastline is 50 km to the north). It was professor Lech Krzyzaniak, director of the Polish School of Egyptian Prehistory, who brought the site to our attention during the Poznan Symposium on Prehistory (Poland, 2000). Professor Krzyzaniak suggested that Tell el-Ginn was very promising2, having visited the site in 1981 while excavating the neighbouring site of Tell es-Sabaa Banât. Tell el-Ginn is indeed located around two kilometers to the north-east of Tell es-Sabaa Banât (close to the Minshat Abou Omar village), and risks being destroyed due to the extension of dwellings and agriculture in this area3.

Brihaye P. and Blin O., Ould Makhlouf N.). 2 L. Krzyzaniak, pers. com , Poznan, 2000. Two members of the GREPAL (N. Collins and L. Watrin) participated in the Poznan Symposium in Poland in August 2001. 3 During our survey in the region in 2001 we saw tractors trying to flatten the hillocks of Tell el-Sabaa Banât in order to have additional fields for crops.
