Egyptian Fortresses and the Colonization of Lower Nubia in the Middle Kingdom
In the early part of the 2nd millennium bce, the Egyptian state took control of Lower Nubia, building a series of monumental fortresses along the Nile that are remarkable for their sophisticated military architecture. This was Egypt’s first major expansion beyond its traditional borders. Various theoretical models of imperialism and core-periphery interactions have been brought to bear on studies of the forts and their populations, seeking to exp…
The Uronarti Regional Archaeological Project: Second Cataract fortresses and the Western Desert of Sudan
Forgotten Fortress: Returning to Uronarti
The kings of the ancient Egyptian Middle Kingdom (ca. 2055–1650 B.C.E.) conquered and subsequently administered a large territory in Lower Nubia, south of the First Cataract.

Recent discovery that two of these fortresses have survived has led to new arc…

The Early Dynastic Funerary Enclosures of Abydos
The site of Naga ed-Deir is located on the east bank of the Nile near Abydos. The Early Dynastic portion of the site consisted of four cemeteries. Cemeteries N1500 and N3000 contained primarily tombs of Dynasties I and II, while the tombs in cemeteries N3500 and N500 dated to Dynasties II and III. The preserved tomb superstructures were rectangular in plan and oriented roughly northsouth. The mastabas had mud brick walls with little or no batter …
