Combinatorial Evolution and Heterogeneous Cohabitation at the Giant Pyramids
This paper examines the Heit el-Ghurab site of Fourth Dynasty settlement at Giza in terms of complexity, imposed, top-down, by central authorities, and bottom-up, self-organized, and emergent. Brian Arthur’s concept of technology as the capture of phenomena, either physical or behavioural, clarifies how central authorities combined existing architecture of storage magazines with standard components of a house and replicated the design in modular …

A twenty-hectare swath of Old Kingdom 4th Dynasty settlement that central authorities laid out at the low, southeastern base of the Giza Plateau as housing and infrastructure for building pyramids shows distinct components that reflect how they mobilized labor into collective action for building on a colossal scale through already existing social bonds and home-based fellowships from districts, villages and neighborhoods. Correlation between this…

Radiocarbon Dates of Old and Middle Kingdom Monuments in Egypt
Between 1984 and 1995 over 450 organic samples were collected from monuments built during the Old and Middle Kingdoms. The most suitable samples were selected for dating. The purpose was to establish a radiocarbon chronology with samples from secure context and collected with the careful techniques required for 14 C samples. This chronology is compared to the historical chronology established by reconstructing written documentation
Reconstructing the Sphinx
From 1979 to 1983 the American Research Center in Egypt carried out an architectural, archaeological and geo-archaeological study of the Giza Sphinx. Photogrammetry and conventional surveying techniques were used to prepare detailed plans and front and side elevations of the monument. These have made it possible to construct a computer model of the current condition of the Sphinx, and its hypothesized condition in ancient times, both as originall…
An Ancient Analogy
Cet article rend compte en les évaluant des similitudes existant entre les écuelles grossières mésopotamiennes de la Période d'Uruk et le moule à pain (bedja) de l'Ancien Empire égyptien. Formes, pâtes, techniques de fabrication, contexte archéologique, évolution, sont comparés; puis vient l'examen du pictogramme égyptien utilisé pour désigner le bedja. Sont enfin considérées les implications que peut avoir l'identification de l'écuelle grossière…

An Enigmatic Object Explained
Some Observations on the Layout of the Khufu and Khafre Pyramids
achieved by the ancient builders. The question is all the more puzzling in that the accurate layout of the pyramid is a kind of ' 'chicken and the eggJ problem. The survey of a true square oriented to the meridian is most accurately done on a leveled surface, but where the surface is to be finely leveled depends on the exact position of the true square. This at least was the case with the two largest Giza pyramids, for the fine leveling which is …
