Wandering fig trees
Evidence for the exchange or diffusion of religious traditions between ancient Egypt and neighbouring Africa is usually confined to the cultures of the Nile corridor in Nubia. Religious connections between Egypt and cultures further afield, while amply discussed, still await confirmation. This analysis demonstrates the likely connection or importation of a sacred sycamore tradition from the Beja culture of Eastern Sudan into the cult of the Egypt…
Radiocarbon Determination of Past Growth Rates of Living Acacia Tortilis Trees from Two Arid Sites in the Eastern Sahara
Reconstructions arc presented of past growth rates of 10 Acacia tortilis trees, 5 growing at an arid site (Gebeit, Sudan) and 5 at a hyperarid site (Wadi Nuqrus, Egypt). The reconstructions were made using a free-shape age-depth model based on a series of 14 C dates obtained on samples taken along the wood cores retrieved from the trunks of the trees (78 dates in total). In spite of the large difference in annual precipitation between the 2 sites…

Mudbrick as a bearer of agricultural information
This study discusses the use of palynological methods in Egyptian archaeology. In particular, it presents for the first time a palynological investigation of mudbrick as a potential bearer of agricultural information in the Nile Valley. Three samples were taken from mudbricks at the Giza Pyramid Area to be analysed for their pollen content. All three samples yielded well‐preserved pollen, mainly of cereal type, and show conclusively that material…
