Decolonising ancient Egypt
Revisiting the Old Kingdom at Thebes
The “tomb complex” that developed over time around the New Kingdom tomb of Neferhotep in el-Khokha comprises TT 49 (the main tomb), TT 187, TT 362, TT 363, and Kampp -347- and -348-. These tombs were heavily reused starting from the end of the New Kingdom. During the Third Intermediate Period, widespread architectural alterations resulted in a complex network of tombs connected by new passages and shafts. In the process of altering and expanding …

Making plundered spaces sacred again
Textual sources from the Egyptian New Kingdom highlight a societal desire to preserve tombs for life after death, yet extensive architectural renovations and tomb robbing often followed the interment of elite individuals. Rather than posing a threat to conceptions of the afterlife, the author argues that these post-mortem activities were conducted with respect and the intention of forming connections. Using the identification of an unusual ritual…
Egyptian Art in Colonized Nubia
Monumental rock-cut tombs decorated with wall paintings or reliefs were rare in New Kingdom colonial Nubia. Exceptions include the 18th Dynasty tombs of Djehutyhotep (Debeira) and Hekanefer (Miam), and the 20th Dynasty tomb of Pennut (Aniba). The three tombs present typical Egyptian artistic representations and inscriptions, which include tomb owners and their families, but also those living under their direct control. This paper compares the art…
Preserving Heritage Amid War
Archaeological sites in southern Egypt and northern Sudan faced a significant threat of destruction caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The UNESCO Nubian campaign sponsored extensive surveys and excavations to salvage as much as possible, yielding large datasets. Temples and tombs were disassembled and relocated, including to various museums, in preservation efforts. Despite these endeavors, much information was lost. The wall paint…

Can We Decolonize the Ancient Past? Bridging Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory in Sudanese and Nubian Archaeology
Archaeology in Sudan and Nubia has been greatly impacted by modern colonialism in northeast Africa. In theory and practice, the discipline's history in the region includes interpretations of past realities that worked as intellectual bases for colonization. From a postcolonial standpoint, Sudan and Nubia offer us an opportunity to investigate complexity in the past beyond oversimplifying colonial narratives entangled with the practice of modern a…
Reshaping Egyptian funerary ritual in colonized Nubia? Organic characterization of unguents from mortuary contexts of the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BCE)
Samples taken from the canopic jars of Djehutyhotep, chief of Tehkhet (Debeira), Lower Nubia, and local versions of Egyptian canopic jars from Sai, Upper Nubia, suggest that the materials used for mortuary ritual unguents in Nubia may have differed from those used in Egypt. Nubian samples consisted of plant gum and bitumen, whereas those from Egypt conformed to the standardizing black resinous liquid recipe used for mummification and other funera…
Object metamorphosis in colonial contexts
Across the globe, colonization often produces material homogenization. The same objects originating in the metropole become part of assemblages throughout the colony. These assemblages impact different groups inhabiting dominated territories, shaping globalization. Archaeologists have now moved away from homogenizing acculturation-based perspectives to understand contexts where global/colonial objects are adopted in local contexts. Postcolonial a…

Heart scarabs and other heart-related objects in New Kingdom Nubia
Alternatives to colonization and marginal identities in New Kingdom colonial Nubia (1550-1070 BCE)
Material culture worked as an essential supporting pillar of the ancient Egyptian colonization of Nubia. During the New Kingdom colonial period (1550–1070 BCE), the material culture of various colonial sites in Nubia consisted of a majority of Egyptian-style objects (including both imported and locally produced objects). Egyptian-style objects materialized foreign presence in local contexts and allowed communities to negotiate identities and posi…

A New Fragment from the Amarna Royal Tomb
A gypsum plaster relief fragment from the Amarna Royal Tomb is currently kept at the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. The fragment consists of an addition to the corpus of relief fragments from the Royal Tomb compiled by G. T. Martin. This paper presents the object and contextualises the relief fragment within the decorative scheme of the Amarna Royal Tomb
Pode a história da África Antiga ser contada através de autores greco-romanos
O livro coletivo parte do pressuposto de que textos de autores greco-romanos podem ser utilizados como fonte para escrevermos a história da África na Antiguidade. A resenha busca problematizar esse pressuposto, com ênfase na diversidade de experiências humanas complexas, em sua maioria ágrafas, no continente africano na Antiguidade
Entangled Temporalities in the Theban Necropolis
The article discusses the excavation of Theban Tomb 187 from a materiality and heritage perspective. TT 187 is located in the Neferhotep (TT 49) tomb complex in el-Khokha. The tomb provides evidence of various phases of reuse, exhibiting ancient and modern temporalities in its final deposition contexts. People from communities near Luxor used to live close to and inside tombs in the Theban necropolis, interacting on a daily basis with heritage si…
