Égypte antérieure: Mélanges de préhistoire et d'archéologie offerts à Béatrix Midant-Reynes par ses étudiants, collègues et amis, ed. N. Buchez, Y. Tristant and O. Rochecouste (Leuven: Peeters), 2021
This paper examines the settlement remains of the turquoise miners of the Old and Middle Kingdoms... more This paper examines the settlement remains of the turquoise miners of the Old and Middle Kingdoms at Wadi Maghara and the amethyst miners of the Middle Kingdom at Wadi el-Hudi. Each was located in a potentially dangerous border area, and the combination of settlement remains and rock-cut images and texts presents aspects of the Egyptians’ pragmatic and ideological responses to the outside world. The paper provides the opportunity to consider whether Lower Nubia and Sinai represented similar types of liminal zones (from the Egyptian point of view) and to what extent mineral procurement expeditions were influenced by military aims in design and practice.

This article begins by discussing early work on the study of ancient Egyptian materials and technology by such scholars as Flinders Petrie and Alfred Lucas, as well as the historical context from which our edited volume Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology emerged. We then highlight some key areas of the science of ancient Egyptian materials and technologies that we consider to be neglected: 1. obtaining samples for analysis; 2. studying the physical and social contexts of procurement of materials; 3. examining the bigger picture of production and use of materials and artefacts; and 4. undertaking studies of patterns of refuse in settlement sites. The article concludes with a discussion of the importance of the chaîne opératoire to our understanding of ancient Egyptian technological processes.

This chapter explores the study of Egyptian settlements and the characteristic range of domestic architecture and artefacts found within living spaces and urban contexts. It will focus on the changing approaches to the material culture of sedentism, urbanism and use of domestic artefacts in Egypt over the last 150 years. The main section, discussing settlement archaeology in Egypt, aims both to provide a summary of progress to date and to highlight areas of the topic that are neglected, controversial or disputed. The final section discusses artefacts that derive from ancient Egyptian domestic contexts, with specific emphasis on the study of patterns of production and consumption and the physical locations in which these activities took place.
This article discusses fragments of two items of funerary equipment newly discovered at Medinet el-Gurob: a New Kingdom painted clay coffin and a Third Intermediate Period cartonnage mummy-case. Both of these were excavated and recorded by the Gurob Harem Palace Project in our 2011 and 2012 seasons; they derive from looting presumed to have largely taken place at Gurob during the months immediately following the political events in January-February 2011. The Gurob Harem Palace Project is a multi-disciplinary Anglo-Danish project, which has focused, since 2005, on the study of Gurob’s urban and funerary archaeological remains. The paper aims primarily to place these new coffins in the context of previous work on funerary material at Gurob and other Late Bronze Age sites in the southern Faiyum region.
This paper discusses the many significant developments in Egyptian technology that seem to have emerged directly from migrations of people (whether spontaneous or forced), the exchange of ideas between different ethnic and cultural groups, and major processes of social change brought on by large-scale environmental and political influences. The chronology of all this suggests that a major technological watershed for the Egyptians of the mid to late Bronze Age was probably the explulsion of the Hyksos, who may have represented a significant barrier between the Egyptians and access to more sophisticated weaponry such as chariots, composite bows and body-armour, as well as other, non-military materials and crafts.
