Abstract

The fifth volume of the annual Peshdar Plain Project’s reports presents a comprehensive account of the 2019 fieldwork activities at the Dinka Settlement Complex (Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq), which included excavations, environmental studies and the continuation of the geophysical survey by Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). On the one hand, fieldwork focused on further improving our understanding of the large-scale urbanised settlement in the upper valley of the Lower Zab river that its good state of preservation and excellent archaeological accessibility make a key site for the study of the Iron Age in the Zagros mountain range of northeastern Iraq and northwestern Iran. On the other hand, also much earlier periods of the occupation of the Bora Plain have come into sharper focus in 2019, chiefly through the excavation of a Chalcolithic pottery kiln under the Iron Age structures of the Lower Town. Moreover, the volume presents the results of analyses of materials previously excavated at the Dinka Settlement Complex as well as a first survey report on the Iron Age sites in the Sardasht district of the Iranian province of West-Azarbaijan, further up in the valley of the Lower Zab river.

Ethnic Identities in the Land of the Pharaohs

 [This Element is free online from 24th November - 8th December]

Ethnic Identities in the Land of the Pharaohs

  • Past and Present Approaches in Egyptology
  • Uroš Matić, Austrian Archaeological Institute

 Ethnic Identities in the Land of the Pharaohs

Ethnic Identities in the Land of the Pharaohs deals with ancient Egyptian concept of collective identity, various groups which inhabited the Egyptian Nile Valley and different approaches to ethnic identity in the last two hundred years of Egyptology. The aim is to present the dynamic processes of ethnogenesis of the inhabitants of the land of the pharaohs, and to place various approaches to ethnic identity in their broader scholarly and historical context. The dominant approach to ethnic identity in ancient Egypt is still based on culture historical method. This and other theoretically better framed approaches (e.g. instrumentalist approach, habitus, postcolonial approach, ethnogenesis, intersectionality) are discussed using numerous case studies from the 3rd millennium to the 1st century BC. Finally, this Element deals with recent impact of third science revolution on archaeological research on ethnic identity in ancient Egypt.

Aegyptiaca in der nördlichen Levante : Eine Studie zur Kontextualisierung und Rezeption ägyptischer und ägyptisierender Objekte in der Bronzezeit

Ahrens, Alexander (2020). Aegyptiaca in der nördlichen Levante : Eine Studie zur Kontextualisierung und Rezeption ägyptischer und ägyptisierender Objekte in der Bronzezeit. Leuven, Paris, Bristol: Peeters Publishers.

Abstract

In dieser interdisziplinären Studie untersucht Alexander Ahrens ägyptische Objekte, die in der nördlichen Levante (Libanon, Syrien und Regionen der Türkei) in Kontexten des zweiten Jahrtausends v. Chr. gefunden wurden. Er stützt sich auf Methoden der Archäologie und der soziokulturellen Theorie, um mittels einer eingehenden Analyse der Fundkontexte Strategien der Rezeption und eine damit verbundene Emulation der ägyptischen materiellen Kultur und ihrer spezifischen Motivik durch nordlevantinische Eliten zu charakterisieren. Die Studie vermittelt so ein besseres Verständnis der Komplexität und Vielfalt interkultureller Beziehungen im bronzezeitlichen östlichen Mittelmeerraum.

In this interdisciplinary study, Alexander Ahrens examines Egyptian objects found in the northern Levant (covering the modern states of Lebanon, Syria, and parts of Turkey) in archaeological contexts dated to the second millennium BCE. Drawing on methods from archaeology and sociocultural theory, he provides a characterization of the perception and accompanying emulation of Egyptian material culture within northern Levantine elite spheres. Analyzing many of the artifacts’ find contexts, he proposes a new way to explore their ancient perception and reception through the study of archaeological and historical sources. The book thus enhances our understanding of the complexity and diversity of intercultural relations in the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age.
