Where Were the Slave Markets
Slavery was a key component of state economy during Egypt’s New Kingdom with extensive evidence for the widespread kidnapping of foreigners as captives for the benefit of temples and other state institutions. Despite this, there is only limited evidence for the sale of slaves, and no evidence for the existence of dedicated slave markets of the type found in Classical Greece and Rome. This article argues that the Egyptian state increased its contr…
An Assemblage of Ceramic Figurines from the Site of Tell Nabasha
Sixteen ceramic figurines were discovered during excavations in 2015 at the site of Tell Nabasha by a team from the University of Liverpool. The figurines were found in several contexts dating from the Late to the early Ptolemaic Period. This article presents the assemblage and discusses the function of these figurines within the sacred landscape of Tell Nabasha linking them to the worship of primarily two local deities: Wadjet, Mistress of Imet,…
Mercantile networks and the export of antiquities from Egypt in the mid nineteenth century
The export of antiquities from Egypt to the United Kingdom during the mid nineteenth century required an extensive network of cultural, diplomatic and mercantile actors, including private shipowners. While much previous research has focused on the political stakeholders in the process, as well as the archaeologists conducting excavations in Egypt, the attempted export of Menkaure's sarcophagus from Giza to the British Museum in 1838 allows for a …
A Late Period Model Block Headrest from the Northeastern Nile Delta
Headrests made from various materials and in a variety of shapes were used throughout the pharaonic civilisation and across social classes. Aside from their functionality in life, headrests formed a core component of funerary assemblages. During the Late period, the full-size functional headrests were replaced (or augmented) in private tombs assemblages by smaller amuletic and model headrests. This article presents a newly discovered rare type of…
Garstang Stela E.31 and the Family of Iy at Abydos
Publication of E.31, a Middle Kingdom stela from cenotaph 321 A’07, discovered by John Garstang at Abydos, currently housed in the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, University of Liverpool. The stela contains information about the family of the Bearer of Soil Iy at Abydos in the late Middle Kingdom, adding to Simpson’s ANOC 19. The archaeological context of the object is explored, and a full translation of E.31 is provided, as well as discussion of…
The Late Period Stela of the God’s Father Horenpe from the Manchester Museum
This article presents a stela belonging to the God’s Father Horenpe (acc. no. 6041), which was donated to the Manchester Museum by its founder and primary benefactor Sir Jesse Haworth and partly published by Amelia Edwards in 1888. The article investigates the stela’s provenance and dates it on stylistic grounds to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. Evidence is also presented which suggests that the stela may have originated from Abydos where a near-ident…
Cereal cultivation and nomad-sedentary interactions at the Late Bronze Age settlement of Zawiyet Umm el-Rakham
Some notes on a New Kingdom ovoid bottle in the Liverpool World Museum
Publication of a New Kingdom ovoid bottle in the World Museum (National Museums Liverpool) from Gurob, originally found by Petrie and later obtained by F. G. Hilton-Price and H. S. Wellcome. The fabric and stylistic parallels of the vessel as well as its collection history and archaeological context is investigated in an attempt to highlight the degree of information available by exploring traditionally less noteworthy pieces in museum collection…
