The Austrian excavations over the past thirty years at the Tell el-Daba site have revealed that it is by far the largest and the oldest Middle Bronze Age site in the Eastern Delta. Beginning in 1966 and resumed after a break between 1970 and 1974, some fifty excavation and research seasons have led to the accumulation of an enormous amount of material dating from the Twelfth Dynasty to the Late New Kingdom. Most of the investigated strata belong to the Late Middle Kingdom and the Hyksos Period. The wealth of material finds that have been gained from this site is legendary, not least amongst these are the ceramics, which are analysed in this study. The book begins with a general introduction listing the scope of the publication and continues with clay materials, vessel terminology, the various parts of the vessels and descriptive abbreviations. Section II deals with the pottery from the Late Middle Kingdom to the beginning of the Hyksos Period and comprises a general corpus of Egyptian and imported Levantine pottery from the time of the Late Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties. The volume presents the first detailed discussion of the co-existence between the culture of Ancient Egypt during the Late Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period with the Syro-Palestinian Middle Bronze Age culture. Section III contains an analysis of the Hyksos pottery that developed in the North-Eastern Delta from a explicitly localized blending of Egyptian and Middle Bronze Age traditions. Outside of the Memphis-Fayum region, and, to a lesser extent, Elephantine, pottery of the Second Intermediate Period is but poorly known, thus the publication of this material is a distinct addition to our knowledge of the regional styles that developed during this period. In both sections all the vessels are grouped typologically, thus allowing the reader a quick overview of how certain forms develop over time, the more so since they are all clearly illustrated on a user-friendly scale.
This collection of studies on palaces in Ancient Egypt is the result of a conference organised by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the University of Wurzburg and the Egypt Exploration Society from 12th to 14th of June 2013 in London. The result is a compilation of information - archaeological and textual - one can resort to in order to develop strategies to understand architectural and functional variations and recognise schemes of building canons for palaces in Ancient Egypt. In addition, the understanding of Ancient Egyptian palaces is amplified with specialised studies regarding architectural and administrative terminology. The combined evidence shows that there was indeed a variability in function, in architecture and in the physical situation of palaces in Ancient Egypt. Besides a common space program such as the succession of courtyard, portico, vestibule, throne room and the intimate part of the palace, one may observe a variability of the number of aisles or of columns present as well as in the thickness of walls. This fact points to hierarchical rules concerning the importance of the building. As the architecture is often preserved only in its foundations, it is important to learn what kind of walls were load-bearing, what the size of division walls is and which kind of walls once carried columns. All these first observations have to undergo an evaluation process before one can think of discovering a building canon. A general introducing section is followed by contributions covering Ancient Egyptian palaces from Predynastic times until the New Kingdom. More contributions on the subject will follow in the second volume, which will deal mainly with Ancient Near Eastern Palaces as outcome of a palace workshop at the 10th ICAANE, held in 2016 in Vienna. Together, these two volumes will contribute to a better understanding of the architectural canon and diversity of palaces in Ancient Egypt and the difference in concept to their Ancient Oriental counterparts. ce from SAV1 North underlines the important role Sai plays in understanding settlement patterns in New Kingdom Nubia.
English summary: The present volume is the first in a series of monographs dedicated to the results achieved by AcrossBorders, a European Research Council Project (Austrian Academy of Sciences and Ludwig Maximilian University Munich). With its so-called Egyptian temple town and adjacent pyramid cemeteries, Sai Island is one of the prime examples for settlement policy of New Kingdom Egypt (c. 1530-1070 BC) in Upper Nubia (northern Sudan) and is the focus of this project. New fieldwork and multi-layered research conducted by the AcrossBorders project has provided fresh insights on living conditions in New Kingdom Nubia in direct comparison with Egypt. This volume is dedicated to SAV1 North, the sector situated along the northern enclosure wall. It was excavated between 2008 and 2012 by the Sai Island Archaeological Mission and processed within the framework of AcrossBorders. The principal focus of the book is the physical remains of SAV1 North: the architecture and material culture, with emphasis on the pottery and small finds. Datable to the mid to late 18th Dynasty, the building phase labelled as Level 3 was the heyday of sector SAV1 North - a time well-attested by several architectural remains with associated finds and pottery, which are all presented in the volume. A summary of thoughts on possible hints about the lifestyle and activities at SAV1 North preserved in the material remains completes AcrossBorders I. All in all, the evidence from SAV1 North underlines the important role Sai plays in understanding settlement patterns in New Kingdom Nubia. German description: Der vorliegende Band ist der erste in einer Reihe von Monographien, welche die Ergebnisse des Projekts AcrossBorders vorlegt, gefordert vom Europaischen Forschungsrat (ERC) (Osterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften und Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen). Die Insel Sai kann aufgrund einer sogenannten agyptischen Tempelstadt und dazugehorigen Pyramidenfriedhofen als eines der wichtigsten Beispiele fur Siedlungspolitik Agyptens im Neuen Reich (ca. 1530-1070 v. Chr.) in Obernubien (Nordsudan) gelten und steht im Mittelpunkt des Projektes. Neue Ausgrabungen und interdisziplinare Forschungen von AcrossBorders haben frische Einblicke in die Lebensumstande in Nubien zur Zeit des Neuen Reiches im direkten Vergleich zu Agypten erbracht. Der vorliegende Band beschaftigt sich mit dem Grabungsareal SAV1 Nord, das entlang der nordlichen Stadtmauer liegt. Es wurde zwischen 2008 und 2012 von der Sai Island Archaeological Mission ausgegraben, die detaillierte Auswertung erfolgte im Rahmen von AcrossBorders. Das Hauptaugenmerk des Buches liegt auf den materiellen Hinterlassenschaften in SAV1 Nord: der Architektur und der materiellen Kultur, letztere mit einer Betonung von Keramik und Kleinfunden. Die Blutezeit des Grabungsareals SAV1 Nord ist die sogenannte Bauschicht 3, die in die mittlere bis spate 18. Dynastie datiert werden kann und gut durch Architekturbefunde sowie zugehoriges Fundmaterial belegt ist. All diese Befunde und Funde werden im Band prasentiert. Eine Zusammenfassung mit Uberlegungen zu Fragen des Lebensstils und verschiedener Aktivitaten und Funktionen in SAV1 Nord schliessen AcrossBorders I ab. Insgesamt unterstreichen die hier erstmals vorgelegten Belege die wichtige Rolle der Insel Sai zum allgemeinen Verstandnis von Siedlungsstrukturen in Nubien zur Zeit des Neuen Reiches.

The first full-length study of historical fiction in New Kingdom Egypt, Imagining the Past provides significant new information concerning ancient Egyptian historiography.
This updated and expanded annotated bibliography presents and describes over 1,200 books, dissertations, excavation reports, and articles relevant to the paleopathology of the ancient Egyptians from the fields of Egyptology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and medicine, making it possible for scholars in these different fields to keep current with the latest finds and results. Each source has a short annotation explaining its relevant pathological information, so that scholars can ascertain whether or not any particular source is germane to their own research, and see what is being studied and published by others. In particular, this bibliography will be an immense help to scholars outside the field of Egyptology who want to know about the newest excavations with human remains. It will be indispensable to scholars as well as non-specialists who are intrigued by this area of study, particularly forensic pathologists, medical researchers, historians of medicine, and mummy enthusiasts.
Manetho's obscure reference to a race of invaders has been a constant source of debate and controversy. This book assesses the rise to power of the Hyksos, exploring the preliminary stages that enabled them to gain control over a portion of Egyptian territory and thus to merit a small mention in Manetho's history.
