According to one account it was found lying on the ground, and according to another it was built into a very old wall, which a company of French soldiers had been ordered to remove in order to make way for the foundations of an addition to the fort, " ' afterwards known as Fort St. Julien. '* The actual finder of the Stone was a French Officer of Engineers, whose name is sometimes spelt Boussard, and sometimes Bouchard, who subsequently rose to the rank of General, and was alive in 1814. He made his great discovery in August, 1799. Finding that there were on one side of the Stone lines of strange characters, which it was thought might be writing, as well as long lines of Greek letters, Boussard reported his discovery to General Menou, who ordered him to bring the Stone to his house in Alexandria. This was immediately done, and the Stone was, for about two years, regarded as the General's private property.

Emery Ziegelarchitektur L’architecture en brique crue Mud-brick architecture, though it has received less academic attention than stone architecture, was in fact the more common of the two in ancient Egypt; unfired brick, made from mud, river, or desert clay, was used as the primary building material for houses throughout Egyptian history and was employed alongside stone in tombs and temples of all eras and regions. Construction of walls and vaults in mud-brick was economical and relatively technically uncomplicated, and mud-brick architecture provided a more comfortable and more adaptable living and working environment when compared to stone buildings. على الرغم أن العمارة بالطوب اللبن تلقت إھتماما أقل من العمارة الحجرية من قِبَل المتخصصين، فقد كانت في الواقع تلك العمارة ھي اﻷكثر شيوعا في مصر القديمة، وكان الطوب اللبن (أوالنيء) المصنوع من الطمي أو الطين الصحراوي مستخدما كمادة بناء بدائية للمنازل على مدار التاريخ المصري واستخدمت إلى جانب الحجارة في المقابر والمعابد في جميع المناطق وخﻻل جميع الفترات.

  • Crafts and Craftspeople in Upper Egypt
    Transformations of Marginality: Crafts and Craftspeople in Upper Egypt Final report Presented to the Ford Foundation July 2007 Reem Saad Introduction This report presents the final results of the research study entitled “Transformations of Marginality: Crafts and Craftspeople in Upper Egypt”, one of two components of the Ford Foundation- funded project entitled: “Rural Responses to Globalisation in Egypt”. The mother project builds on previous research projects dealing with different aspects of rural transformation in Eygpt (wholly or partly funded by the Ford Foundation). The previous projects were: 1. Social and Economic Impacts of New Egyptian Land Reform Legislation on the Rural Economy. (Ford Foundation) 2. Rural transformation in Upper Egypt: Formal and Informal Structures and Institutions. (DANIDA and Ford Foundation) The above studies mainly focused on the interplay between state policies and local actors. They also documented the (mostly adverse) impact of the Economic Liberalisation and Structural Adjustment Policies (ERSAP) on rural Egyptian society. The present project shifts the conceptual focus to study rural 1 dwellers in contemporary Egypt within the context of a globalising world, and it focusing on both farmers and non-farmers. This study on “Transformations of Marginality: Crafts and Craftspeople in Upper Egypt” focuses on the ways in which the poor and the underprivileged sectors are affected by economic, political and socio-cultural forces of global integration, and how encroaching markets impact traditional production and consumption styles. The project builds on the previous studies in two ways. First, it makes use of data gathered but not utilised during the course of fieldwork for other studies. Second, a number of questions emerged during work on previous studies.

  • TELL EDFU. Nadine Moeller
    oi.uchicago.edu TELL EDFU TELL EDFU Nadine Moeller The 2010 season of the Tell Edfu Project was marked by the longest field season in the proj- ect’s history, which lasted for two and a half months, spanning the period from October to mid-December 2010. During this time it has been possible to considerably advance the exca- vation in the columned hall and silo area, which will be fully completed in 2011. The overall research focus of this project will then gradually shift to the exploration of the Old Kingdom settlement and the origins of the ancient town of Edfu. In this respect, major clearance work was carried out along the northeastern part of the tell, close to the Ptolemaic temple, where Old Kingdom settlement layers had been previously identified (see Oriental Institute 2009–2010 Annual Report). Furthermore, the Tell Edfu Project was expanded to incorporate a first recon- naissance survey at the Old Kingdom step pyramid situated about 5 km southwest of Edfu. This will be another new focus for future seasons. Excavations in the Silo Court of the Second Intermediate Period One of the main foci in the silo area has been the excavation of Silo 388, which is situated in the northern part of the granary court.1 As noted already last season, its walls have been pre- served to a considerable height, measuring more than 4 m from the silo floor to the last course of bricks, showing clearly the beginning of the vaulted top. We can estimate that it was about 80 percent intact at the time of its abandonment at the end of the Second Intermediate Period and any subsequent loss of the structure was minimal until the French expedition dug a deep trench in this area in the 1930s.
