A New Interpretation of the Early Dynastic so-called ‘Year’ Labels. ‘Balm Labels’ and the Preservation of the Memory of the King The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2021-12-18 Wantje Fritschy
Inscriptions on Early Dynastic ‘oil labels’ that refer to events have long been thought to contain a ‘year-name’ that dated the oil. During the last two decades, new evidence has become available which suggests that such events referred to what had been characteristic for the regnal period of a deceased king rather than for a specific year. The labels were funerary-ceremonial rather than administrative

This book tells a history of Egypt from a geographic point of view, in a wholly original way. It takes, in a sense, a Braudelian longue durée-approach, but with the crucial difference that the geography and climate discussed are revealed to be not the immovable bedrock of history, but a shifting ground to which humans need to keep constantly adapting. Bunbury could not be better qualified to write

Three Papyrus Sheaths of Priestesses of Amun The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2021-07-12 Abir Enany
During the Twenty-First Dynasty, funerary customs of the priesthood of Amun in Thebes were relatively altered due to the socio-political and economic circumstances of that period. The quest for security compelled the priests to use hidden collective tombs with no decorations or inscriptions other than those written on funerary objects. Of these are three papyrus sheaths that once belonged to three

This slender and elegant volume brings together the most complete published data on the iron artefacts from the burial equipment of King Tutankhamun (Tomb KV 62).
