Mapping entangled mobilities
This paper examines how creative counter‐maps can be a valuable participatory historical geography tool in their capacity to render visible multiple pasts, presents, and futures, and offer new possibilities for representation and belonging through visual and creative aesthetics. Emerging from the Ancient History, Contemporary Belonging project, the paper explores the co‐creation of a participatory counter‐map, Unprovenanced Map , displayed in Man…
Slavery and Dependence in Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt offers rich sources of documentary evidence for the study of the experiences of dependent people, particularly enslaved persons, and how they changed over almost four millennia from the Old Kingdom to the early Islamic period. This volume, the work of a team of scholars spanning the full range of disciplines and languages involved, provides nearly three hundred primary sources in translation, arranged both chronologically and themat…
Participatory museum projects with refugee-background young people
Museums in the Global North have turned to participatory practices with traditionally marginalized groups in response to social and political pressures to become more inclusive and relevant and to confront their colonial pasts. One group which museums are increasingly seeking to engage is refugee-background young people, located at the intersection of two groups traditionally excluded from contributing to museological practice. However, while a w…

Writing Exercises from Wadi Sarga
The editions of previously unpublished texts from the monastic complex at Wadi Sarga in the collection of the British Museum. These fourteen ostraca bear writing exercises (‘school texts’), primarily alphabets and alphabetic letters or sequences, personal names, and epistolary formulae. Such exercises were not included by W.E. Crum and H.I. Bell in their 1922 publication of texts from the site
Crum, Walter Ewing (1865–1944)
Walter Crum was one of the foremost scholars of Coptic. His Coptic Dictionary is an indispensable tool for Coptic linguistics and philology. During the course of producing his major work, he published several thousand texts, mainly of a non‐literary nature, which are vital for the study of daily life throughout Egypt in Late Antiquity and the Islamic period.
Djeme/Western Thebes
The village of Djeme was the principal settlement site in western Thebes, after which the local region was referred to as the Holy Mount of Djeme. The large body of Coptic textual evidence from the site, together with what survived of its archaeology, makes it one of the best‐known sites in Late Antique and early Islamic Egypt and its evidence is invaluable for reconstructing the daily life of Egypt's village population at this time.
Greek or Coptic? Scribal Decisions in Eighth-Century Egypt (Thebes)
This chapter focuses on the scribes who produced legal documents in the village of Djeme (western Thebes) in the eighth century CE. One specific formulaic component is used as the key case study to examine the degree of variation found between these writers. Scribes can be grouped together based not only on their use of this formula, but in conjunction with their palaeography and orthography. Variation between these features was not arbitrary, bu…
Scribal Repertoires in Egypt from the New Kingdom to the Early Islamic Period
This volume deals with the possibility of glimpsing pre-modern and early modern Egyptian scribes, the people who actually produced ancient documents, through the ways in which they organized and wrote those documents. Breaking with the traditional conception of variation in scribal texts as ‘free’ or indicative of ‘corruption’, this volume reconceptualizes scribal variation in pre-modern Egypt from the point of view of contemporary historical soc…
One Week in January
The University of Michigan papyrus P.Mich. inv. 1545 is a register of men, written in Coptic. Various pieces of information are provided for each man, including their patronymic, their place of residence, their occupation, or the name of the person they served. Occupations include dealers of various commodities, gardeners, and herders. Where toponyms can be identified, they are from the Hermopolite nome. It is argued that this register records th…
