Bouto – Tell el-Fara’in (2023)
IntroductionLe programme conduit par la mission française, intitulé « Vivre, produire et mourir à Bouto à l’époque romaine : les habitats, les ateliers et la nécropole, d’Octavien à Dioclétien », concerne, suivant une approche synchronique, l’occupation de Bouto à l’époque impériale (habitat, nécropole, activités de production) et son inscription dans la région et en Méditerranée ; et, selon une approche diachronique, les questions paléoenvironne…
The Burials at Amarna Site O45.1
This paper deals with the discovery of a cemetery at Amarna site O45.1. The cemetery was originally thought to pre-date the establishment of Amarna but more recent evidence from elsewhere at Amarna suggests that it actually belongs to a period early in the construction of the city
Simply red
Chemical analysis of a visually opaque, turquoise-blue ingot from the Late Bronze Age royal capital at Amarna, housed in the Garstang Museum, University of Liverpool, shows an excess of copper colourant which indicates that the intended colour was opaque red. Trace element analysis places the location of manufacture in Egypt, and the date, finds location, dimensions and analysis suggest that the glass was made at Amarna. This, coupled with other …
It wasn't an intellectual construction
La Via Campesina was born in the process of fierce struggles by rural working classes - poor peasants, smallholder farmers, landless farmworkers, artisanal fishers, and small pastoralists - against neoliberal global capitalism. Since its establishment three decades ago, it has become one of the world's most influential transnational movement organizations. It has kickstarted political projects that led to the formation of wider movements, such as…
Sacred Animals at Saqqara
Saqqara, the necropolis of the first capital city of a unified Egypt, is best known today for the Step Pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser (2667–2648 B.C.). However, the Step Pyramid is only the most visible feature of this great burial site, and the tombs of many thousands of individuals are hidden beneath the sands, some excavated, others not. These human burials are only a part of Saqqara’s funerary history. This paper examines the catacombs of the nume…
Early twentieth century tourism and commercial photography in Egypt and the Holy Land
Tourism, photography and ancient monuments are intimately linked and have a history stretching back to the beginnings of photography and to early mass-tourism. However, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many tourists either did not own cameras or preferred to rely on professionally produced photographs. Foreign travel for many was the experience of a lifetime and for those visiting Egypt and the Holy Land the desire to have ima…

Glass, Pharaonic
This entry examines ancient Egyptian production and working of glass. It traces the origins of the material in Egypt and its importance within society. Technological developments are considered in relation to the working of stone and the production of faience. It is suggested that the making of glass may have been controlled by the state whilst its working into objects was less closely controlled.
Faience, Egyptian
This paper looks at the non‐clay ceramic material known as faience or Egyptian Faience. It has been described as “the first high‐tech ceramic” and has links to the technology of stoneworking as well as to pottery and glass.
Technology, Egyptian
The Egyptians were masters in the understanding of their environment, and knew how to extract from that environment those materials that had the properties they required to produce particular artefacts. Among their most notable products are the pyramids but also papyrus, glass, and faience.
Soldier tourism in First World War Egypt and Palestine
During the First World War, many British and Imperial soldiers serving in Egypt and Palestine took photographs or bought postcards to send or take home showing the places they had visited. As the conflict unfolded, military service there might be viewed as a kind of ‘enforced tourism’ wherein soldiers followed tourist routes and took photographs in ways closely related to those of peace-time visitors. The Views of an Antique Land project has coll…
The Catacombs of Anubis at North Saqqara
Glass of Amenhotep II from Tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings
Among the purported finds from KV55 is a piece of glass bearing the cartouche of Amenhotep II. This paper reviews the evidence for the discovery of this early fragment, and examines its composition with a view to determining its likely manufacturing origin. Comparison of the glass with some of the earliest Egyptian glass from reign of Thutmose III establishes that it may have been one of the earliest glasses actually manufactured in Egypt
Technology, Egyptian
In its broadest sense, “technology” encompasses the means by which an object is produced, and is sometimes defined as the science of “mechanical and industrial arts” It does not imply anything about the level of sophistication of those means. Egyptian technology is relatively simple, and lacks, for most of pharaonic history, iron.
Faïence
Faïence, more correctly termed “Egyptian faïence,” is a non‐clay ceramic material made up of silica and covered with an alkaline glaze, most commonly in a blue or blue‐green color. It is known from the Egyptian Predynastic period through Roman times and has continued into modern times in parts of the Near East (for summaries, see Vandiver 1983; Nicholson and Peltenburg 2000).
Pharaonic glass
The study of ancient Egyptian glass can be divided into two broad areas: glass‐making and glass‐working.

Howard M. Hecker (1935-2002)
Hecker was a remarkable individual. Whenever I have talked to friends and colleagues about what might be included in this appreciation everyone has had the same reaction: shock and sadness at Howard's passing followed by a smile at recollections of time spent with him (inevitably followed by their favorite Howard story). He was one of those people whose larger-than-life personality and great personal kindness touched everyone. His background was …

The provenance of some glass ingots from the Uluburun shipwreck
Pottery making in upper Egypt
Despite the enormous importance of pottery to the archaeologist, detailed ethnoarchaeological studies of pottery production are rare, and tend to concentrate on the most primitive forms of pottery production. The study of the potteries and clay mines at Deir el‐Gharbi, Upper Egypt was undertaken with this in mind. The potteries are of a type defined by David Peacock as a ‘rural nucleated pottery industry’, they produce large amphora‐like vessels …
Ceramic technology in Upper Egypt
Firing is the most crucial stage in the manufacture of pottery, since at any earlier stage the raw material can be reprocessed: yet it is also one of the least well recorded ethnographically. By recording firings in the field, both in terms of temperature and the actions of the potters it was hoped to obtain data which would help refine laboratory techniques of temperature determination on ancient ceramics. One of these techniques, thermal shrink…
Lead Isotopic Analysis of Eighteenth‐dynasty Egyptian Eyepaints and Lead Antimonate Colourants
New lead isotopic analyses are presented for lead antimonate coloured glass and faience from Amarna in Middle Egypt and dated to around 1350 BC. When compared to existing data, these suggest that Gebel Zeit on the Red Sea coast of Egypt may be the source for some of the lead antimonate colourants used in Egypt and possibly for the galena kohls of Eighteenth‐Dynasty date as well

Hodder Westropp
Hodder Westropp wrote what is probably the first Handbook of Archaeology ever produced, added to Petrie's work on Irish Round Towers, and defined the term Mesolithic. Yet he is virtually unknown and is given only a brief mention in modern scholarship (Daniel, 1967, 260; Wilkins, 1959, 130-1). The purpose of this article is to provide a brief biography of this remarkable figure and to look in greater detail at some of the major events of his caree…

The Ulu Burun Glass Ingots, Cylindrical Vessels and Egyptian Glass
This paper examines a possible Egyptian origin for the glass ingots discovered in the Ulu Burun shipwreck off the Turkish coast and seeks to relate them to cylindrical vessels believed to be ingot moulds from Tell el-Amarna. A preliminary distinction between types of Ulu Burun ingot is also suggested and a comparison made between the ingot moulds from Amarna and those from Qantir

Three-dimensional imaging in archaeology
Whilst digital cameras and computer graphics are starting to be used in archaeological recording, stereoscopic photography tends to be overlooked. This technique has been used successfully in three recent projects and could be beneficial as a means of 3D photographic recording
