Deir el-Médina (2024)
Le rapport de l’année 2024 présente les travaux réalisés par la mission de l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao) sur le site de Deir el-Médina (opération 17148), en partenariat avec plusieurs institutions européennes, américaines et égyptiennes. Le Comité permanent du ministère du Tourisme et des Antiquités (MoTA) a approuvé lors de la séance du 22 juin 2023 le plan d’actions présenté par le directeur de la mission, qui consiste en l…
Rediscovering Black Coffins from Deir el-Medina
In recent years, the research carried out at Deir el-Medina under the aegis of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo (IFAO) has taken on new directions, accelerating the study of unpublished documentation and broadening the scope of research in many fields. In the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the reopening of pits 1022, 1049 and tomb TT217, used as magazines, led to the exciting rediscovery of hundreds of wooden objects excavated by Ber…

New investigations into the Uluburun resin cargo
Compositional Variations in Aged and Heated Pistacia Resin Found in Late Bronze Age Canaanite Amphorae and Bowls From Amarna, Egypt
This study examines resinous deposits from the interior surfaces of sherds of imported Canaanite amphorae and locally produced bowls from the 18th Dynasty site of Tell el‐Amarna, Egypt. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Canaanite amphorae were used for resin transport, whilst the bowls are associated with burning resin as incense. A number of characteristic triterpenoids identify all the resinous deposits from both vessel types as Pistac…
The provenance of Late Bronze Age Transport Amphorae found in Egypt
This study, which forms part of a larger project on Canaanite amphorae, illustrates the use of ceramic petrography in refining the visual classification of the fabrics of imported New Kingdom amphorae excavated from Memphis and Amarna in Egypt. Provenances for the Canaanite amphorae are suggested which contradict previous assumptions. A broad line of shape development has already been established but only site specific and largely unpublished inv…
A Comparison of Methods for Establishing Fatty Acid Concentration Gradients Across Potsherds
Canaanite amphorae fragments in fabrics believed to be associated with the bulk transport of vegetable oils from the fourteenth‐century BC site of Amarna, Egypt, have been examined. A comparison is made between solvent extraction, saponification and the use of TMTFTH (m‐trifluoromethylphenyl)trimethylammomum hydroxide, used here for the combined extraction and derivatization of ceramic‐absorbed organic residues. Extracts were studied using gas ch…
The botanical identity and transport of incense during the Egyptian New Kingdom
Resin preserved on New Kingdom vessels from Amarna in Middle Egypt provides evidence for incense burning and trade. Here Margaret Serpico & Raymond White describe a new interdisciplinary research project
