Excavations on Bieta Giyorgis Hill, Aksum and Evidence for the Origins and Development of the Aksumite Kingdom
Wood fuel use in the Predynastic Upper Egypt Nile Valley
Political Economies of Predynastic Egypt and the Formation of the Early State
Mersa/Wadi Gawasis and Ancient Egyptian Maritime Trade in the Red Sea
Mersa/Wadi Gawasis was the site of an ancient Egyptian harbor on the Red Sea, which was mainly used during the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2055–1650 b.c.e.) for seafaring voyages to Punt and Bia-Punt. Excavations at the site from 2003–2011 have uncovered ceremonial structures located along a cliff above the shoreline, and eight man-made caves/galleries, which were mainly used for storage. No permanent architecture has been found at the site, suggesting t…
The chronology of Aksum (Tigrai, Ethiopia)
From 1993 to 2003 archaeological investigations were conducted on Bieta Giyorgis hill to the northwest of Aksum by the joint project of the University of Naples ‘L'Orientale’ and Boston University. One of the results of this project was to establish a detailed archaeological sequence and chronology for the development of the ancient capital, based on the dating of finds and radiocarbon dates from well defined archaeological contexts. Five phases …
A New Look at Aksum
Radiocarbon Dates from Halfiah Gibli (Abadiyeh), a Predynastic Settlement in Upper Egypt
In 1989 and 1991, wood charcoal samples were excavated at a Predynastic settlement in Upper Egypt, Halfiah Gibli (HG). A second site, Semaineh (SH), was also investigated, but as the ceramics there were mostly from the Old Kingdom, excavations were concentrated at HG. Wood charcoal was obtained in undisturbed contexts, in association with Nagada culture potsherds and lithics, ranging in date from about 3700 BC to 3200/3100 BC. These new radiocarb…
Early Dynastic Egypt
The Proto-Aksumite Period
La période comprise entre le déclin de l'État pré-aksumite du Da 'amat (IVe - IIIe siècle av. JC) et l'essor du royaume d'Aksum (Ier siècle après JC) est mal connue. Les fouilles archéologiques menées à Bieta Giyorgis, près d'Aksum, permettent de mettre en évidence un stade intermédiaire (proto-aksumite), qui opère une rupture avec la phase antérieure et annonce les réalisations culturelles de la période aksumite
The Aksum Archaeological Area
This invaluable compendium, published by the Istituto Universitario Orientale in Naples, arises out of research undertaken jointly by that institution and Boston University under the direction of Rodolfo Fattovich and Kathryn Bard. That it is written in English will greatly facilitate its use in Ethiopia. Aksum, in the highlands of Tigray in northern Ethiopia, was the capital of a major state during the first seven or eight centuries A.C. Its loc…

Urbanism and the Rise of Complex Society and the Early State in Egypt
Archaeological Investigations at Bieta Giyorgis (Aksum), Ethiopia
Archaeological Investigations at Bieta Giyorgis (Aksum), Ethiopia
The first archaeological excavations in Tigray, northern Ethiopia, since 1974 were conducted in 1993 at the site of Ona Enda Aboi Zewgé near Aksum. A large stela field associated with artificial stone platforms and human burials was investigated. Preliminary results indicate that this Aksumite cemetery dates from the 1st century B.C. to the 4th century A.C. Evidence of Late Pre-Aksumite occupation was discovered beneath one of the stone platforms…
From Farmers to Pharaohs
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in multinational, archaeological research into the origins of civilization in the Nile Valley north of Aswan. This has resulted in a more precise definition of the cultural differences between Upper and Lower Egypt in Predynastic times and of the manner in which northern Egypt came to be dominated economically and culturally by southern Egypt in the century or more preceding the beginning of the …
The Egyptian Predynastic
In the 4th millennium B.C. two different Predynastic cultures, both of which practiced agriculture, evolved in Egypt: the Nagada culture in the south and the Maadi culture in the north. Settlement sites of the latter are much better preserved, but in the south, where most of the archaeological evidence is from cemeteries, there is much greater evidence for the evolution of social hierarchies and complex societies. A review of the archaeological e…
Early Civilizations. Ancient Egypt in Context
Sources of the predynastic grinding stones in the hu‐semaineh region, upper Egypt, and their cultural context
Grinding stones excavated at the Predynastic site of HG in Upper Egypt were analyzed, and consist of igneous rocks (rhyolite porphyry, basalt, granite) and metamorphic rocks (marble, quartzite). These rocks were brought to the site in Predynastic times (ca. 4000–3000 B. C.) from the Dokkan Volcanics located in the Wadi Hammamat, possibly as far away as 150 km. This is further evidence for the widespread exchange network that existed in Predynasti…
The Predynastic Lithic Industries of Upper Egypt. A Comparative Study of the Lithic Traditions of Badari, Negada and Hierakonpolis
Toward an interpretation of the role of ideology in the evolution of complex society in Egypt
Ancient Egypt
The Evolution of Social Complexity in Predynastic Egypt
A large territorial state emerged in Egypt by 300 BC, but its origins are not well known. Because what we know about the Predynastic period is mainly from cemeteries, archaeological evidence for the rise of the state in Egypt is lacking. An analysis of the largest Predynastic cemetery at Naqada shows increasingly differentiated graves over time, as well as an increasing interest in elite goods. An interpretation of the cemetery analysis seems to …
Field Report
In 1898–1899, Sir Flinders Petrie excavated Predynastic, pharaonic, and Roman period cemeteries in the vicinity of Hu, EgyptSE of Nag Hammadi. As few Predynastic settlements have been preserved and excavated in Egypt, fieldwork to locate settlements associated with Petrie's Predynastic cemeteries was conducted in 1989. The Egyptian Predynastic was a crucial period of social, political, and economic change, dating from approximately 4000 to 3000 B…

Toward an interpretation of the role of ideology in the evolution of complex society in Egypt
The Geography of Excavated Predynastic Sites and the Rise of Complex Society
Complex society evolved in Egypt in the fourth millennium B.C. as farming villages along the Nile became increasingly stratified. While sites of the culture known as the Predynastic are found throughout the Egyptian Nile valley, the greatest number of known Predynastic sites exist in Upper Egypt in three major areas (all on the west bank): those of Hierakonpolis, Nagada and Ballas, and Abydos (fig. 1). In Middle Egypt, Predynastic sites are locat…

A Quantitative Analysis of the Predynastic Burials in Armant Cemetery 1400-1500
A Quantitative Analysis of the Predynastic Burials in Armant Cemetery 1400–1500
Cemetery 1400–1500 at Armant, excavated by Mond and Myers in the 1930s, is the best-recorded Predynastic cemetery in Egypt. With burials dating to Nagada I, II, and III, the cemetery provides data for a crucial period of social evolution in Egypt. Quantitative methods of analysis show that both mean grave size and mean number of grave goods increase through time. Although clusters of graves show differentiation into two basic hierarchies of grave…
