  • From the Fjords to the Nile. Essays in Honour of Richard Holton Pierce
    From the Fjords to the Nile brings together essays by students and colleagues of Richard Holton Pierce (b. 1935), presented on the occasion of his 80th birthday. It covers topics Steiner, Tsakos and Seland (eds) on the ancient world and the Near East. Pierce is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Bergen. Starting out as an expert in Egyptian languages, and of law in Greco-Roman Egypt, his professional interest has spanned from ancient Nubia and Coptic Egypt, to digital humanities and game theory. His contribution as scholar, teacher, supervisor and informal advisor to Norwegian studies in Egyptology, classics, archaeology, history, religion, and linguistics through more than five decades can hardly be overstated. Pål Steiner has an MA in Egyptian archaeology from K.U. Leuven and an MA in religious studies from the University of Bergen, where he has been teaching Ancient Near Eastern religions. He has published a collection of Egyptian myths in Norwegian. He is now an academic librarian at the University of Bergen, while finishing his PhD on Egyptian funerary rituals. Alexandros Tsakos studied history and archaeology at the University of Ioannina, Greece. His Master thesis was written on ancient polytheisms and submitted to the Université Libre, Belgium. He defended his PhD thesis at Humboldt University, Berlin on the topic ‘The Greek Manuscripts on Parchment Discovered at Site SR022.A in the Fourth Cataract Region, North Sudan’. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bergen with the project ‘Religious Literacy in Christian Nubia’. He From the Fjords to Nile is a founding member of the Union for Nubian Studies and member of the editorial board of Dotawo.

M. McCurry A Thesis in the Field of Middle Eastern Studies for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 © 2017 Grace K. Mitchell McCurry Abstract This study explores the contributions of Cyrus Ashton Rollins Sanborn, known throughout his lifetime as Ashton Sanborn, to four archaeological expeditions in Egypt during the early twentieth century: Clarence Fisher’s work at Dendera and Memphis during the 1915-1916 archaeological season, Fisher’s continuing excavations from 1919 to 1920, George Reisner’s expedition at the Giza Pyramids in 1920, and Reisner’s secondary excavations at Meroe in 1921. Sanborn worked closely with both Fisher and Reisner, two Egyptologists who became well known in their field during their lifetimes and beyond, particularly in Reisner’s case. Yet Sanborn’s name retains no immediate recognition; his life’s work has not been rewarded by historical memory, legacy, or any measure of scholarly fame.

And yet … over the centuries, the Egyptians built Giza into a vast necropolis rich in lessons about their civilization, reveal- ing their conception of the hereafter, their architectural knowl- edge, their art and their writing. Situated on the outskirts of the metropolis of Cairo, Africa’s largest city, the Giza Plateau is a decidedly little-known ar- chaeological jewel subject to threats from all sides, whether from rampant urban sprawl, the elements, or even vandalism.

    chapter eight LOCATING THE CULTURES OF LOWER NUBIA IN THE LATE NEOLITHIC, EARLY AND MIDDLE BRONZE AGE: SOME PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS 1. Against Models Any theory is better than none [?]1 Ancient Nubia was discovered by Egyptologists and continued to be considered a special annex to Ancient Egypt well into the 1960s when the traditional image of a cyclically “Egyptianized” Nubia begun to crumble as a result of the discoveries made during the UNESCO Nubian Salvage Campaign.2 Between 1959 and 1969 more than forty archaeological expeditions worked between the First and Second Nile Cataracts. In Egyptian Nubia excavations were conducted at about thirty sites, settlements as well as cemeteries. Albeit in a less con- centrated manner,3 an organised survey was undertaken for the first time in Sudanese Lower Nubia too. As a result of the international undertaking, over 1,000 sites were discovered and excavations were car- ried out in c. one third of them.4 The new evidence demanded rad- ical changes not only in the traditional discourse on the connections between Lower Nubia, Upper Nubia and Egypt but also in the tra- ditional methods and strategies which derived from the methods and 1 Freely after J.J.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARD NO. 60-13944 DESIGNED BY CARL F. ZAHN PRINTED IN U.S.A. BY T. 0. METCALF CO., BOSTON Preface to the First Edition THEPRESENT VOLUME grew out of a scheme to produce an authoritative as well as a useful handbook on the Egyptian collections in the Museum of Fine Arts. Its preparation was entrusted to Dr. Smith, a scholar of distinction, a recognized authority, and, for some years, Dr. Reisner’s first Assistant in the excavations at Giza. Inevitably, the book became more than a handbook, and is really a short history of the development of Egyptian culture and art, well illustrated with pieces in the Museum collections. Each historical period is discussed in general before the section which describes the pertinent material in the Museum. It will be useful to visitors to be sure, but equally useful to the students and teachers of Egyptian history and art. Its appearance at this time is extremely apposite. Coming as it does so soon after the death of Dr. George Andrew Reisner, Curator of Egyptian Art at the Museum, and one of the world’s greatest Egyptologists, its author likes to regard it as a tribute to this great scholar whose indefatigable labors and brilliant re- search have been the major factor in creating the collection which the Museum houses.
