"An Archaeology of Art and Writing offers an in-depth treatment of the image as material culture. Centring on early Egyptian bone, ivory, and wooden labels—one of the earliest inscribed and decorated object groups from burials in the lower Nile Valley—the research is anchored in the image as the site of material action. A key aim of this book is to outline a contextual and reflexive approach to early art and writing as a complement to the traditional focus on iconographic and linguistic meanings. Archaeological and anthropological approaches are integrated with social theories of practice and agency to develop a more holistic perspective that situates early Egyptian imagery in relation to its manufacture, use and final deposition in the funerary context. The dialectical relationships between past embodied practitioners and materials, production techniques, and compositional principles are examined for the insight they provide into changes and continuities in early Egyptian graphical expression across time and space. The electronic version of this book is accompanied by an online database of the inscribed labels, enabling the reader to explore via hyperlinks the fascinating body of evidence that underpins this innovative study.Kathryn Piquette lectures on the archaeology of ancient Egypt and the Near East at the University of Reading. She also lectures in digital humanities at University College London, where she serves as a senior research consultant in advanced digital imaging techniques for cultural heritage. Recent publications include the co-edited Writing as Material Practice: Substance, surface and medium."

This volume contains the edition of 42 Egyptian documentary papyri from the 5th–8th century AD including translations as well as historical and philological commentary. The texts were written in Greek or Coptic, but the volume also comprises bilingual Greek-Coptic documents and an Arabic-Greek protocol. These multifaceted papyri, such as administrative, legal and tax documents, allow precious glimpses into the society of the late antique Nile Valley and produce important new evidence for the underexplored transition period from Byzantine to Islamic rule in Egypt. Der vorliegende Band umfasst die Edition von 42 bislang unveröffentlichten ägyptischen Papyrusdokumenten aus dem 5. bis 8. Jahrhundert n. Chr. mit Übersetzung und einem historisch-linguistischen Kommentar. Die Texte sind zumeist auf Griechisch oder Koptisch verfasst, doch finden sich auch griechisch-koptische Dokumente sowie ein arabisch-griechisches Protokoll. Die facettenreichen Texte, die aus dem Alltagsmilieu, dem administrativen, rechtlichen und steuerrechtlichen Bereich stammen, ermöglichen wertvolle Einblicke in das gesellschaftliche Leben im spätantiken Niltal und generieren neue Informationen zur noch wenig erforschten Übergangszeit von der byzantinischen zur arabischen Herrschaft in Ägypten.

Scattered Finds explores the politics, personalities and social histories that linked fieldwork in Egypt with the varied organizations around the world that received finds. Case studies range from Victorian municipal museums and women’s suffrage campaigns in the UK, to the development of some of the USA’s largest institutions, and from university museums in Japan to new institutions in post-independence Ghana. By juxtaposing a diversity of sites for the reception of Egyptian cultural heritage over the period of a century, Alice Stevenson presents new ideas about the development of archaeology, museums and the construction of Egyptian heritage. She also addresses the legacy of these practices, raises questions about the nature of the authority over such heritage today, and argues for a stronger ethical commitment to its stewardship.

Ausgehend von Nachlassmaterialien und Publikationen des Göttinger Orientalisten Paul de Lagarde (1827-1891) unternehmen die Beitragenden dieses Bandes eine wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Bestandsaufnahme zu Leben und Werk, aber auch zu politisch-weltanschaulichen Aspekten und insbesondere zu Lagardes Antisemitismus. Neben der Erörterung der Fachgeschichte deutscher (Alt-)Orientalistik und der durch Lagarde geprägten Septuaginta-Forschung erfolgt dabei auch eine zeitgeschichtliche Verortung vor den Hintergründen völkischer Ideologie und akademischer Netzwerke. Methodische Fragestellungen zu Erschließung und Edition des Nachlasses sowie den gesellschaftspolitischen Implikationen runden den Band ab. Based on the legacy and published works of the Göttingen orientalist Paul de Lagarde (1827-1891), the contributors to this volume undertake a historical inventory of his life and scientific work, including its political aspects, especially Lagarde's anti-Semitism. Besides describing the history of German Ancient Near Eastern Studies, the book also furnishes a broader context against the backdrop of then-prevalent "völkisch" ideology.
