Methods of assessment
This course is assessed by means of:
(a) a three-hour written examination in May (50%); students are expected to answer 3 out of
7 questions;
4
(b) two pieces of coursework of 2,500 words, each contributing 25% to the final grade for the
course.
Teaching methods
The course is taught through a series of 20 seminars.
Workload
There will be 40 hours of lectures. Students will be expected to undertake around 160 hours
of reading for the course, plus 40 hours preparing for and producing the assessed work, and
additional 40 hours on revision for the examination. This adds up to a total workload of some
280 hours for the course.
Prerequisites
Students attending this course are expected to have attended ARCL1009 “Introduction to
Egyptian and Near Eastern Archaeology” or have equivalent knowledge of Ancient Egyptian
Archaeology.
2 AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT
Aims
The aim of the course is to provide a problem driven overview of major themes currently
debated in Egyptian Archaeology.
Objectives
On successful completion of the course students should:
 Understand geographical, historical, and social contexts of material culture in Ancient
Egypt
 Understand the disciplinary underpinnings of Egytian Archaeology
 Understand and be able to contribute to current debates in Egyptian Archaeology
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course students should be able to demonstrate:
 Source-critical approach to Egyptian material culture
 Ability to integrate and assess different research resources, including research
literature, objects, archives, and databases
 Independent problem solving based on real data sets
Coursework
The submission deadline for essay 1 is Monday 14.12.2015 and for essay 2 Monday,
21.3.2016.
If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should discuss this with the
Course Co-ordinator.
Students are not permitted to re-write and re-submit essays in order to try to improve their
marks. However, students may be permitted, in advance of the deadline for a given
assignment, to submit for comment a brief outline of the assignment.
Essay 1
1. What is the difference between chronology and history? Discuss with reference to
ONE of the following periods: a) prehistory, b) Third millennium, c) Middle Bronze
Age, d) New Kingdom, or e) Late Period.
5
2. Is Age of the pyramids an appropriate term to summarise the period spanning the Old
and Middle Kingdoms?
3. How would you characterise and explain the major differences between the
interaction of Egypt with Nubia and the interaction of Egypt with the Levant? Chose
two relevant sites for your answer.
4. Discuss the methods and relevance of landscape archaeology in Egypt with casestudies from the Nile valley, the Delta and the deserts.
5. Using the bronze mirror UC 17754 and its archaeological context as your initial casestudy, would you say that funerary culture in ancient Egypt is the culture of the living?

6. Do you think that settlement archaeology is identical with an archaeology of daily life?
Justify your answer with examples of excavated settlements and other evidence.
Essay 2
1. Compare and contrast the Egyptian galleries of the British Museum with the Petrie
Museum and the Pitt-Rivers Museum. Which one would you argue presents ancient
Egypt best?
2. Is Avaris/Pi-Ramesse an atypical capital of ancient Egypt? Compare it with other
ancient Egyptian capitals through time.
3. In Methods and Aims in Archaeology (1904), Petrie defined pottery as the “essential
alphabet of archaeology in every land”. Do you agree?
4. Do you think that Egyptian art was intended for public consumption? Discuss aspects
of visibility and accessibility using Amarna as a main case-study.
5. Establish the archaeological and historical context of the object UC14394. How
representative are “ear stelae” of religious practices in Egypt?
6. Does the search for “female objects” and “female spaces” define a viable and useful
approach to social identity at Lahun?
The word count of both essays is 2,375-2,625 words. Penalties will only be imposed if you
exceed the upper figure in the range. There is no penalty for using fewer words than the
lower figure in the range: the lower figure is simply for your guidance to indicate the sort of
length that is expected.

The making of pharaohs: Preshistory and Early Dynastic period (AS)
A major event in global history is the emergence of complex societies integrated on a larger
scale than their prehistoric forerunners. The making of pharaohs, the Egyptian kings, lies at
the heart of this development. It is the result of growing social stratification during the
Predynastic period (ca. 4,300 to 3,300 BC) and embedded in the rapid development of new
ways of display and communication, including writing. This session introduces major
processes from prehistory (before 4,300 BC) to the Early Dynastic period (ca. 3,300 to 2,800
BC) and develops critical perspectives on mainstream narratives of the period.

Approaching monumentality: Old and Middle Kingdoms (RB)
The Old to Middle Kingdoms (2,800-1,650 BC) demarcate the first great cycle of royal
authority interrupted by the so-called First Intermediate Period. Archaeologically, they are
characterized by the emergence of monumental culture, particularly the royal tomb in the
form of pyramids. Pyramids are not only technological masterpieces of architecture but are
embedded in landscapes and the lives of people. We will explore in class to what extent
14
pyramids and other monuments can be used as a lense for modelling wider social and
cultural developments in the third and early second millnia.

A global age: New Kingdom Egypt (RB)
The New Kingdom (1,550-1,070 BC) is as much a period of monumental architecture,
particularly of temples, as one of the maximum extension of the Egyptian state. It coincides
with other Late Bronze Age empires who entertained close relationships through military
conflice and diplomacy. Archaeologically, the material culture in Egypt is increasingly
merged with non-Egyptian elements. Outside the heartland of Egypt, Egyptian material
culture gained prestige and led to the appropriation by local communities across NorthEastern Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

CONTEXTS OF MATERIAL CULTURE PAST AND PRESENT
The second part of the course reviews the contexts in which people engaged with material
culture. Contexts is understood in a broad sense embracing the physical and institutional
setting in ancient Egypt as well as intellectual and public environments in which people
encounter ancient Egypt today.

Histories of Archaeology (AS)
Egyptian Archaeology emerged as a discipline in the nineteenth century at the intersection of
imperial dominance over Egypt, European fascination for hieroglyphs, and an
anthropological interest in Egypt past and present. As a consequence of professionalization
and institutionalization in the twentieth century, it gradually migrated out of the developments
in neighbouring disciplines, such as archaeology, anthropology, and history. This had a
restricting effect on the agendas applied to the study of ancient Egypt. This session
establishes the intellectual contexts in which Egyptian archaeology developed and which
direction future research may take.

Egyptian landscapes (JB)
Material culture is intimately linked to the geological and geographical environment in which
it was produced and consumed. Recent research of Egyptian geology reveals that long held
beliefs in the comparatively stable arrangement in Nile Valley, Delta, Western and Eastern
desert do not account for the complexity of environmental variability over time and space. On
a local level, environmental change is a prime mover for site formation processes.
Landscape archaeology since the 1990s has increasingly recognized the cultural potential
inherent in the human engagement with the natural environment. We will discuss the
relevance of recent environmental research in Egypt and how Egyptian Archaeology can
benefit from as well as contribute to discussions of landscape archaeology.

The archaeology of death and burial (AS)
Egyptian Archaeology is blessed with an exceptionally dense record of burials ranging from
prehistory to the medieval Islamic period and from the tombs of low-ranking individuals up to
grand monuments of the kings. The diversity in the archaeological record is paralleled by a
25
rich body of funerary literature which used to frame models of Egytian burial practice. This
session explores approaches to death and burial developed in archaeology and
anthropology focusing among other issues on the body, ritual investment, and the spatial
organization of funerary communities.

Life in Egyptian settlements (RB)
Settlement archaeology in Egypt was for a long time overshadowed by the excavation of
monumental tombs and temples. Fieldwork over the past four decades has accumulated a
substantial body of evidence for a reconstruction of the Egyptian life in settlements. This
includes the arrangement of houses, communal living, issues of hygiene and well-being and
the day-to-day responses to the challenges of life. Broader perspectives embrace debates of
the extent to which Pharaonic Egypt was an urban society. Urbanism is the success model
of large-scale societies in the long run up to the present. However, ideal life styles in ancient
Egypt chrystellise around rural setteings which so far have not been excavated by
archaeologists.

Egyptology and the museum (AS)
Museums played a pivotal role in the formative period of Egyptian archaeology in the 19th
century and today are recognised as multifunctional instiutions on the interface of research,
teaching, and the public. Egyptian archaeology has developed an increasing interest in and
awareness of critical museum studies. The session will introduce a number of themes drawn
from the anthropological literatue, including post-colonial theory, object biographies,
indigenous archaeology, and source community empowerment. The discussion shows that
the museum is an important context for contemporary interaction with material culture with a
potential for a richer engagement with ancient Egypt than has been realised in the past.

SITES, OBJECTS AND THEMES
Sites and objects are focal points around which discussions in archaeology are arranged.
The third section of the course explores broader themes in Egyptology through three key
sites and a series of objects made of different materials.
11
Abydos: fixing imagination in the landscape (RB)
Abydos is one of Egypt’s most complex multi-period sites. The core body of the
archaeological remains date from the predynastic period to the Late Period. Abydos was a
central place of state formation, the burial ground of early dynastic kings, cultic centre of the
god Osiris, and home of important temple processions leading from the local temple through
the extensive burial grounds to the early dynastic royal tombs where the god Osiris was
believed to be buried. The procession has prompted the erection of royal ancestor temples,
chapels and a series of non-royal votive structures along the route. Inscriptions, imagery,
and archaeology show that the local landscape was laden with meaning. Egyptologists
increasingly explore the fascinating question of how human imagination interacts with the
natural environment with Abydos being a primary case study. Archaeologists have started
excavating the site in the later 19th century and continue working there until the present day.
They have amassed a substantial but widely dispersed body of evidence offering fertile
ground for critical discussion in class.

Amarna: urban template or city of “heresy”?
Perhaps even more prominent than Abydos, and certainly so outside Egyptology, is the city
of Amarna. In many ways, it is archaeologically exceptional because it was laid out on the
ground as a new capital, inhabited only for less than two decades, and due to favourable
conditions of preservation, offers insight into the functioning of Egyptian cities unparalleled
so far by any other site. The fame of the site, however, originates in its embedding in a new
theological vision developed by its founder Akhenaten and centering on the light at the
expense of the established pantheon. Interpretation of Amarna oscillate between an
archaeological template of urban life in Egypt and the embodiment of Akhenaton’s “heresy”.
We will review the evidence of the site excavated in the past and present and discuss
possible routes into a reconciliation of diverging interpretations.

Avaris: archaeological revolution and revelation
New archaeological fieldwork techniques can revolutionise our knowledge of the past. Such
is the case at Avaris located in the Eastern Delta. It was known from inscriptions as being
the capital of the Hyksos dynasty ruling Egypt in the mid-2nd millennium BC. A combination
of remote sensing techniques and excavation have revealed the location and physical reality
of Avaris below an area which today is largely used for agriculture near the modern village of
Tell el-Dabba. This session discusses recent archaeological investigations in the Delta and
the historical relevance of Avaris at the cross-road of Egypt, the Mediterranean, and the
Levant.

Pottery: production, consumption and low life
“The alphabet of archaeology” (Petrie), pottery is one of the most important sources of
information for questions of cultural identity, social interaction and economic organization,
ranging from political systems to daily life, and far beyond traditional chronology. The
indestructibility of the ceramic material, its ubiquity and sheer quantity in which it is usually
found at a site make pottery an essential basis for the study of Egyptian prehistory as well as
later periods, challenging reconstructions based on written and visual evidence only. The
aim of this session is to introduce and discuss some of these questions by means of the
ceramic evidence. The case studies are drawn from the Predynastic and Old Kingdom
Egypt.

Stone and metal: aspiration, exploitation and object lives (AS)
Stone and metal objects differ significantly from pottery and call for attention to material
properties over questions of form and type. Stone was used for monumental architecture as
well as on miniature level and naturally comes in varieties from soft to precious stones each
worked on with a distinct range of tools. Metal objects required high temperature technology
and poses challenges to its conservation today. Stone and ore are difficult to extract and
process natural resources requiring specialism and, at a large scale, new forms of labour
organization. Objects made of stone and vessel were aspired for their exclusiveness and
aesthetic appeal. Many have a complex biography characterized by reuse, recycling, and
remounting. We will explore these problematic issues in class and discuss to what extent the
given material record can be representative of the ancient Egyptian object world.

EGYPTIAN WORLDS
The final section of the course brings together discussions and evidence of previous
sessions to address issues typical of the Egyptian world.

Archaeological perspectives on kingship (RB)
Kingship is at the heart of Egyptian society and a prime reference point for the core elite and,
cascading down the social ladder, groups who encounter the public face of kingship only.
Most discussions of kingship heavily rely on written and visual material such as royal
inscriptions, administrative documents, and specific contexts of display. While these offer a
wealth of important messages and will be reviewed in class, this session develops an
archaeological perspective on kingship. If there were no texts, how would kingship be
recognizable in the material culture?

Identiy, diversity, and inequality (AS)
“Ancient Egypt” is a unifying way to refer to something that was experienced differently by
different individuals, depending on their rank, gender, age and ethnic affiliation. The
Egyptian landscape, the geographical disposition of the Lower Nile Valley and Delta, and the
strong appeal of Egyptian high culture within and outside the Egyptian heartland fromed a
resource for establishing a shared identiy as much as for articulating distinction. The
archaeological record of Egypt offers a wealth of approaches to the construction of identity
and Egyptian archaeology could possibly lead agendas of social archaeology more
generally. This session builds on recent trends in the discipline that discusses how people
negotiated their lifes styles, relationships, and identity in an early civilization.

Visual culture (RB)
The division in Egyptian philology, art history and archaeology is a modern construct
fostered by specific methods in the various sub-disciplines. The term “visual culture” offers a
better context for assessing the way in which the ancient Egyptians articulated experience of
the physical world. This session reviews major characteristics of Egyptan visual
representations and discusses their relevance for approaches to the material world. A focus
will be placed on the restrictions imposed by the visual genre on representations of the
47
physical reality as much as on the potential it offered for representing something that
otherwise does not exist.

Religious practices (RB)
Religion is a contested field of study as it suggests a discrete set of ideas and practices on
the one hand and a ubiquitous belief system governing all areas of life on the other. Related
terms are “ideology”, “magic”, “science”, and “world view” all of which can be difficult to set
apart from religion. This session reviews a range of practices commonly classified as being
of religious nature and explores the underpinnings of the term “magic”, including the material
remains that may be associated with it.

Egypt in the world (RB)
Ancient Egypt is less of a stand-alone black box than ancient sources and modern
interpretation of them may suggest. Rather, it was embedded in and responded to changes
of long-distance trade networks spanning from Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa over the
Near East to the Southern fringes of what later emerged as the European world.
Chronologically, knowledge of Ancient Egypt was passed on to travellors and intellectuals
through the centuries. The final session opens discussion to question of the relevance of
ancient Egypt on a global map and serves as a platform to review the course contents as a
whole.

Please discuss with your lecturers whether there is any way in which they can help you.
Students with dyslexia are reminded to indicate this on each piece of coursework.
Feedback
In trying to make this course as effective as possible, we welcome feedback from students
during the course of the year. All students are asked to give their views on the course in an
anonymous questionnaire which will be circulated at one of the last sessions of the course.
These questionnaires are taken seriously and help the Course Co-ordinator to develop the
course. The summarised responses are considered by the Institute's Staff-Student
Consultative Committee, Teaching Committee, and by the Faculty Teaching Committee.
If students are concerned about any aspect of this course we hope they will feel able to talk
to the Course Co-ordinator, but if they feel this is not appropriate, they should consult their
Personal Tutor, the Academic Administrator (Judy Medrington), or the Chair of Teaching
Committee (Dr. Karen Wright).
Health and safety
The Institute has a Health and Safety policy and code of practice which provides guidance
on laboratory work, etc. This is revised annually and the new edition will be issued in due
course . All work undertaken in the Institute is governed by these guidelines and students
have a duty to be aware of them and to adhere to them at all times.
