L. It Is Customary to Begin Photoing at the Upper Left Hand Corner of a Large Sheet and to Continue Photoing from Left to Right in Equal Sections with a Small Overlap INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Though only sixty years of age, he had published eight books and two book-length articles, four chapters of the new revised edition of the Cambridge Ancient History, thirty-six other articles, and numerous book reviews. He had also served for nine years in Egypt on expeditions of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the institution to which he devoted his entire career, and more than four years in the United States Navy in World War II, during which he was wounded in action-both periods when scientific writing fell into the background of his activity. He was presented by the President of the United States with the bronze star medal and cited "for meritorious achievement as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. VIGILANCE ... in the efficient and expeditious sweeping of several hostile mine fields.., and contributing materially to the successful clearing of approaches to Okinawa for our in- vasion forces." Hayes' original intention was to work in the field of medieval arche- ology.

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.

  • From the Predynastic Period to the Old Kingdom
    A Short History of Egypt Part I: From the Predynastic Period to the Old Kingdom Shawn C. Knight Spring 2009 (This document last revised December 2, 2008) 1 The Predynastic Period Two broad phases of history in Predynastic Egypt are observed, and they are named after the town of Naqada, in Upper Egypt between Abydos and Thebes, where artifacts from both phases were found in distinct excavations. Naqada I culture has small-scale village agriculture and not a very complex large-scale social system. This culture had developed well-made stone tools and fine earthenware pottery, but no evidence indicates relations with people outside the Nile valley.1 Naqada II culture, on the other hand, shows signs of relations and \cultural boundaries" with the Nubians to the south, and it is during this phase that the Two Lands developed as aggregates of the smaller nomes. There is also much evidence of trade, both between the Two Lands and with the inhabitants of Sinai, Palestine, and even Mesopotamia. It is in late Naqada II culture that we find the invention of the serekh, the first formal way of writing the name of the king. A cemetery at Abydos is believed to contain the tombs of late Naqada II rulers, which may explain the prominence of Abydos in later Egyptian religion.2 During the predynastic period, the \pit-burial" developed for the common people of Egypt, and it remained in vogue for much of pharaonic history. The deceased was curled up in fetal position and buried in a simple pit dug in the sand in the desert to the west of civilization.

  • National Maternal Mortality Study: Egypt 2000
    2 THE NATIONAL MATERNAL MORTALITY STUDY: EGYPT 2000 REPORT OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS JUNE 2001 3 © June 2001 Directorate of Maternal and Child Health Care Ministry of Health and Population, Egypt 4 The National Maternal Mortality Study: Egypt 2000 was conducted by the Directorate of Maternal and Child Health Care, Ministry of Health and Population, under the Healthy Mother/Healthy Child Project in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development and its technical assistance contractor, John Snow, Inc. This publication was made possible through support provided by the Office of Health and Population, United States Agency for International Development/Egypt, under the terms of Contract No. 263-C-00-98-00041- 00 with John Snow, Inc. (JSI). The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Agency for International Development or John Snow, Inc. Foreword The National Maternal Mortality Study: Egypt, 2000 is the second national study of maternal mortality to take place in Egypt. I requested that this study be repeated to measure the degree of reduction in maternal mortality since the first study (1992/93), which was conducted eight years ago. Both studies were conducted by the Ministry of Health and Population, Directorate of Maternal and Child Health Care with help from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). Support to fund this study was provided by the Ministry of Health and Population and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with technical support provided by USAID contractor John Snow, Inc. It is with great pleasure that I congratulate all of my MOHP colleagues on their accomplishments and contributions to lowering the national maternal mortality ratio by over 50% (from 174 to 84 per 100,000 live births) in the past eight years.
