  • 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).

  • “Nothing Is Impossible” – the Professor and the Academy 10 KAROL MYŚLIWIEC
    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. Faras 1961. Professor at work, studying pharaonic blocks. (Phot. T. Biniewski). THE PROFESSOR AND THE ACADEMY 11 After the political thaw in Poland in 1956, Professor Micha³owski, already Vice- director of the National Museum in Warsaw and Professor at Warsaw University, immedi- ately started to prepare a comeback to Egypt and to other countries of the Mediterranean.

  • The Curse of the Pharaohs Free
    FREE THE CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS PDF Elizabeth Peters | 320 pages | 29 Jun 2006 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781845293871 | English | London, United Kingdom Assassin's Creed® Origins - The Curse Of The Pharaohs on Steam It's in Thebes, Egypt, and the esteemed archaeologist, Howard Carter, alongside his financial backer, Lord Carnarvon, holds a flickering match up to the darkness. They're underneath the Egyptian sand, at the mouth of the tomb of the Boy Pharaoh Tutankhamen. Hot air, trapped for s of years, escapes the ancient doorway. As my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you The Curse of the Pharaohs anything? After years and years of searching, the pair had found the final resting place of the famous child king, uncovering the most well-preserved tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. As legend has it, there is an ancient curse associated with the The Curse of the Pharaohs and tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. Disturbing these embalmed remains has been said to bring bad luck, illness and death. Shortly after unearthing King Tut's tomb, Carnarvon was found dead. A mosquito bite on his face had become infected, leading to deadly blood poisoning. And he would not be the only death, illness or unlucky occurrence associated with this expedition.
