Book excerpt: This volume publishes the scenes and texts of the Ramesside Temple at Amara West in Sudan. It was excavated by an EES expedition during the 1938-39 season, followed by the excavation of the West Gate between 1947 and 1949. The main decoration dates to the reign of Ramesses II, although most of his Twentieth Dynasty successors are also attested in added texts and scenes.

Book excerpt: "In 1300 BC, pharaonic Egypt created a new town on the windswept banks of the Nile in Northern Sudan: Amara West. Designed as a centre for the control of occupied Upper Nubia, the town flourished for 200 years. An interdisciplinary research project, led by the British Museum, has been working at the site since 2008. What was it like to live in Egyptian Nubia? What things did the inhabitants make and how did they interact with the spiritual world? How was food prepared and how healthy were the inhabitants? How did the town change over two centuries of occupation? What role did Nubian culture play in this apparently Egyptian town? Why was the town abandoned? This book offers a glimpse of the intricacies of everyday life under empire in Egyptian Nubia."-- back cover.

All types of agricultural production are present and the sheer size of the continent offers wide ecological variation from extreme desert to dense rainforest.

Download or read book Exploring the Materiality of Food Stuffs written by Louise Steel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From remote antiquity to contemporary contexts, food and the ‘stuff’ of food remains central to people’s daily experiences as well as their sense and expression of identity. This volume explores the materiality of foodstuffs past and present, examining humanity’s intriguingly complex relationships with, and experiences of, food. The book also makes a fresh contribution to our understanding of materiality through a novel focus on material culture, analysing objects used to prepare, wrap, serve and consume food and the tactile experiences involved in its production and consumption. Considering a wide range of cultures, spanning from ancient China to modern-day Kenya, this broad collection of interdisciplinary chapters reveal the multiple interplays between foods, bodies, material worlds, rituals and embodied knowledge that emerge from these encounters and which, in turn, shape the material culture of food. Exploring the Materiality of Food 'Stuffs' makes an important contribution to this burgeoning field and will be of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists working in the key area of food research.

Download or read book Between Two Worlds written by László Török and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptological literature usually belittles or ignores the political and intellectual initiative and success of the Nubian Twenty-Fifth Dynasty in the reunification of Egypt, while students of Nubian history frequently ignore or misunderstand the impact of Egyptian ideas on the cultural developments in pre- and post-Twenty-Fifth-Dynasty Nubia. This book re-assesses the textual and archaeological evidence concerning the interaction between Egypt and the polities emerging in Upper Nubia between the Late Neolithic period and 500 AD. The investigation is carried out, however, from the special viewpoint of the political, social, economic, religious and cultural history of the frontier region between Egypt and Nubia and not from the traditional viewpoint of the direct interaction between Egypt and the successive Nubian kingdoms of Kerma, Napata and Meroe. The result is a new picture of the bipolar acculturation processes occurring in the frontier region of Lower Nubia in particular and in the Upper Nubian centres, in general. The much-debated issue of social and cultural "Egyptianization" is also re-assessed.

Download or read book Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age written by Christian Langer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age explores the political economy of deportations in New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1550–1070 BCE) from an interdisciplinary angle. The analysis of ancient Egyptian primary source material and the international correspondence of the time draws a comprehensive picture of the complex and far-reaching policies. The dataset reveals their geographic scope, economic and demographic impact in Egypt and abroad as well as their interconnection with territorial expansion, international relations, and labour management. The supply chain, profiting institutions and individuals in Egypt as the well as the labour tasks, origins and the composition of the deportees are discussed in detail. A comparative analytical framework integrates the Egyptian policies with a review of deportation discourses as well as historical premodern and modern cases and enables a global and diachronic understanding of the topic. The study is thus the first systematic investigation of deportations in ancient Egyptian history and offers new insights into Egyptian governance that revise previous assessments of the role of forced migration und unfree labour in ancient Egyptian society and their long-term effects.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Ancient and Medieval Nubia written by Richard A. Lobban and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2003-12-09 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Dictionary of Ancient and Medieval Nubia covers the period from the Paleolithic, all the periods of ancient Nubia (Predynastic, Kerma, Dynasty XXV, Napatan, Meroitic, Post-Meroitic) and to the end of medieval Christianity in Nubia (Sudan). This resource focuses on Nubian history through a Nubian perspective, rather than on the more common Egypto-centrism perspective, and the coverage is based on the latest and best archaeological and epigraphic evidence. Newly created maps of the general area and its specific regions and place names and a photospread showing important related features of the region are included. A detailed chronology provides a timeline of historical events, and an introductory narrative shapes the overall history and leads to the main body of the work in the form of a cross-referenced dictionary. The descriptive entries cover the main features of the region in the various periods that are key not only to Nubian events, but also to the important interactions they had with Egypt to the north. Nine appendices and an extensive bibliography conclude this work. Lobban has been teaching Nubian studies in undergraduate classrooms for thirty years, and this book is a product of his hands-on experiences as well as extensive anthropological fieldwork and travel in Sudanese and Egyptian Nubia.
