  • Social Continuity and Change in the First Intermediate Period

    Leslie Anne WardenARTICLEJournal of Egyptian History2025References: 3

    Scholarship often identifies the First Intermediate Period as a time of great change in Egyptian history. This paper will argue that investigation of Egyptian social practice highlights that the First Intermediate Period was not just a time of creative disruption, but also a time of social continuity unifying the late Old Kingdom with the Middle Kingdom. This paper uses utilitarian ceramics as a proxy for both domestic and mortuary practices. A m…

  • Expanding our Data from the Old-Middle Kingdom Western Delta

    Leslie Anne Warden, Nicholas S Picardo et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Research…2023

    The Kom el-Hisn Provincialism Project (KHPP) began new excavations at the site of Kom el-Hisn, Baheira governorate in 2016. Our work specifically targets the Old–Middle Kingdom settlement remains with the aim of studying the activities and population of the site’s late third/early second millennium inhabitants from a local, bottom-up perspective.

  • Interpreting Rubbish in the Archaeological Record

    Leslie Anne WardenARTICLEJournal of Urban Archaeology2022

    Settlement waste, especially in the form of fill layers within houses, is under-investigated by archaeologists. Yet fills constitute a large amount of excavated material in urban contexts.

Using the Business Intelligence (BI) software Tableau to compare the ceramic assemblages from fill and floor con…

The site presented here is a…

  • Tying Technology to Social, Economic, and Political Change

    Leslie Anne WardenARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology2019References: 8

    Egyptian pottery—like the pottery from most excavations—is often prized as a chronological indicator above all else. Pottery thus becomes reified into apparently standard corpora by period, an impression reinforced by ceramic comparison and cross-dating across sites. Using data from select contexts at one Egyptian settlement site (Elephantine Island) and one specific ceramic form (the bread mold), this article argues that such an approach oversim…
