Download or read book Pottery and Economy in Old Kingdom Egypt written by Leslie Anne Warden and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pottery and Economy in Old Kingdom Egypt, Leslie Anne Warden investigates the economic importance of utilitarian ceramics, particularly beer jars and bread moulds, in third millennium BC Egypt. The Egyptian economy at this period is frequently presented as state-centric or state-defined. This study forwards new methodology for a bottom-up approach to Egyptian economy, analyzing economic relationships through careful analysis of variation within the utilitarian wares which formed the basis of much economic exchange in the period. Beer jars and bread moulds, together with their archaeological, textual, and iconographic contexts, thus yield a framework for the economy which is fluid, agent-based, and defined by small scale, face-to-face relationships rather than the state.

Download or read book Ceramic Perspectives on Ancient Egyptian Society written by Leslie Anne Warden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element demonstrates how ceramics, a dataset that is more typically identified with chronology than social analysis, can forward the study of Egyptian society writ large. This Element argues that the sheer mass of ceramic material indicates the importance of pottery to Egyptian life. Ceramics form a crucial dataset with which Egyptology must critically engage, and which necessitate working with the Egyptian past using a more fluid theoretical toolkit. This Element will demonstrate how ceramics may be employed in social analyses through a focus on four broad areas of inquiry: regionalism; ties between province and state, elite and non-elite; domestic life; and the relationship of political change to social change. While the case studies largely come from the Old through Middle Kingdoms, the methods and questions may be applied to any period of Egyptian history.

Download or read book Predynastic Egypt written by Barbara Adams and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 1988 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Predynastic cultures of Upper Egypt, which pre-dated the unification of the country under one king and the beginning of dynastic history in approximately 3000 BC, were first discovered independently by Flinders Petrie and de Morgan in the 1890s. At first Petrie thought they were over a thousand years later, but on accepting the Frenchman's correct, prehistoric dating he went on to analyse and serialise the distinctive objects from the graves he uncovered, thereby laying the foundations for the study of Predynastic Egypt. This study has developed and diversified; it provides insights into the long civilisation that followed and draws upon the resources of a myriad of specialists; social and physical anthropologists, geologists, zoologists, botanists, chemists, architects, conservators and Egyptologists. As fieldwork in Egypt continues and the subject expands the literature has become specialised and scattered; there is little to satisfy the increasing general interest into the inception of Egyptian culture. This book gives a factual introduction to the sources and types of the material remains of Predynastic Egypt and the way they are used to provide information on the development of society in the absence of a written language. --COVER.

Download or read book Vienna 2 Ancient Egyptian Ceramics in the 21st Century written by Bettina Bader and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises thirty-three peer-reviewed papers presented at the international conference 'Vienna 2 - Ancient Egyptian Ceramics in the 21st Century' held at the University of Vienna in May 2012. The papers discuss pottery manufacture and use as well as its archaeological deposition and significance over the entire length of ancient Egyptian history from the prehistoric to early medieval periods. The spatial distribution of sites from which ceramic material is drawn and discussed covers the Nile Delta in the north, the Egyptian Nile valley down to the Sudan as well as adjacent regions. The papers not only provide detailed insights into the most recent analytical methods, results, theoretical approaches and relevant scholarly discussions in the field of ancient Egyptian ceramics, but also highlight ongoing research at archaeological excavations, in museums, storerooms and archives. The book therefore offers a comprehensive up-to-date reference collection of articles addressing the current state and future directions of ceramological studies in Egyptian archaeology.
