A Paleopathological Investigation of Amputation in Ancient Nubia
Evidence of amputation has been suggested in ancient Egyptian medical texts and iconography but remains rare in the archaeological record, particularly amputation used as a surgical technique for therapeutic medical treatment. We present a paleopathological case study of a young adult male interred in a Meroitic period (270 BCE –370 CE ) burial mound in the Nuri necropolis, Sudan, which was originally the final resting place for the kings and que…
(Re)examining the tomb of Queen Yeturow at Nuri
The Twenty-Fifth Dynasty Theban Mortuary Temple of the Vizier Nebneteru, Reused by Khonsuirdis and Others
The Third Intermediate Period temple tomb, or mortuary temple, of Nebneteru, most often referred to as the tomb of Khonsuirdis, was described by Petrie as ‘one of the most prominent landmarks of the western side of Thebes’, yet remains little discussed in the scholarly literature. It was excavated by Petrie in the 1890s and more fully by an Italian team in the 1970s, but never fully published. The scattered references to archaeological and textua…
The Temple of the Winged Lions, Petra
The Temple of the Winged Lions (TWL) in Petra is a Nabataean ritual complex, with workshops and domestic spaces, founded in the early first century CE and active until the earthquake of 363 CE. This paper begins to fill lacunae in the published record about the TWL, offering a summary of its less-reported aspects and suggesting that conclusions drawn from earlier excavations (1974–2005) must be reassessed through a full study that draws from rece…

An Ancient Egyptian Senet Board in the Arizona State Museum
This article discusses a fragment of a rare, wooden slab-style Egyptian senet board that was given to the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona) in 1922 by Lily S. Place, an American who lived in Cairo in the 1910s and 1920s and purchased ancient Egyptian objects from dealers and in the bazaars; it has no ancient provenience. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors provide a reading and interpretation of the incise…
Relationship between solar activity and Δ 14 C peaks in AD 775, AD 994, and 660 BC
Since the AD 775 and AD 994 Δ 14 C peak (henceforth M12) was first measured by Miyake et al. (2012, 2013), several possible production mechanisms for these spike have been suggested, but the work of Mekhaldi et al. (2015) shows that a very soft energy spectrum was involved, implying that a strong solar energetic particle (SEP) event (or series of events) was responsible. Here we present Δ 14 C values from AD 721–820 Sequoiadendron giganteum annua…
High-precision dendro-14C dating of two cedar wood sequences from First Intermediate Period and Middle Kingdom Egypt and a small regional climate-related 14C divergence
Hatshepsut and the Politics of Punt
Payeftjauemawyneith's Shabti (UC 40093) and Another from Nebesheh
A shabti of Saite date, UC 40093, bearing the name Payeftjauemawyneith, is for the first time described, transcribed, transliterated, and translated. Some publications conflate it with another shabti that bears the same name. This article explores whether they belonged to the same man (who may be a high-ranking official who served under Apries and Amasis), and possible locations for his tomb
Tree Rings and the Chronology of Ancient Egypt
A fundamental aspect of ancient Egyptian history remains unresolved: chronology. Egyptologists (and researchers in related fields that synchronize their studies with Egypt) currently rely on a variety of insufficiently precise methodologies (king lists, radiocarbon dating, etc.) from which to derive seemingly “absolute” dates. The need for genuine precision has been recognized for a century, as has the potential solution: dendrochronology. This m…
Foundation or Completion? The Status of Pharaoh-Queen Tausret's Temple of Millions of Years
The temple of millions of years of the Nineteenth Dynasty female pharaoh Tausret has long been thought to consist of little more than its foundations. A decade of excavation by the University of Arizona Egyptian Expedition has challenged that assumption and revealed evidence for far more advanced construction, which is significantly supplemented by the discovery of a block from the temple found and identified by the University of Chicago's Orient…
Ship Timber and the Reuse of Wood in Ancient Egypt
Reuse of materials in ancient Egypt is neither a new nor novel concept. The ancient Egyptians reused a variety of materials and certainly any resource that had spiritual, ideological, or economic value that was available to them. Yet, reuse of certain raw materials has not been thoroughly examined, notably timber. This manuscript explores the modes, preferences and implications of wood use, specifically reuse, in Egypt’s Pharaonic Period, using s…
Reflections On the Foundation, Persistence, and Growth of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, Circa 1930–1960
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, it is appropriate to reflect on the origin of the LTRR and the oft overlooked early period of its history. The period from the “Bridging the gap” event in 1929 to the semi-retirement of A.E. Douglass in 1958 was a crucial time in the development of the LTRR. Although this paper focuses on the history of the LTRR between those events, at points the history of the LTRR…
Long-Term Preservation of Dendroarchaeological Specimens and In Situ Preservation
Dendrochronology offers a unique opportunity to address archaeological questions with minimal invasiveness. Often, archaeological tree-ring sampling, and occasionally analysis itself, can be performed while the larger structure or object remains in situ. In comparison to the costs and benefits of excavation (complete or partial) and a growing international call for in situ preservation, dendrochronology provides an effective compromise for the in…
Basic Principles and Methods of Dendrochronological Specimen Curation
Dendrochronological collections include continuously expanding multi-taxon records of tree growth that encompass millennia and often offer irreplaceable sources of biological, environmental, and cultural information. Nevertheless, each departure of a scholar from the field—whether because of death, retirement, career change, shift in research priorities, or even move to a new institution—places collections in increased danger of being lost as via…
Expanded Application of Dendrochronology Collections
A Further Investigation of the Cairo Dahshur Boats
Based on primary data and direct observation, a re-examination of two boats excavated by Jacques De Morgan outside Senwosret III's pyramid complex at Dahshur, and now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, is offered. The original excavation report is reconciled with subsequent scholarly records, and the boats' construction techniques are evaluated. De Morgan's account has previously been dismissed due to discrepancies between his descriptions and the fi…

An Exploratory Geophysical Survey at the Pyramid Complex of Senwosret III at Dahshur, Egypt, in Search of Boats
A geophysical survey at the pyramid complex of Senwosret III at Dahshur sought to determine the suitability of magnetometry and electromagnetic induction (EMI, or conductivity) for mapping the area where several ancient boat-burials were found in the 1890s. At least one boat reported at the time of excavation remains unaccounted for. Tests demonstrated that magnetometry does detect subsurface structures of stone, fired brick, and unfired brick un…
