‎Storage in Ancient Egypt and Nubia.‎

‎<p>Texte en anglais et en français.</p><p>In 2020 and 2021 the<span></span><em>Research Group on Storage in Ancient Egypt and Sudan</em><span></span>organised two online workshops focusing on earthen storage buildings in ancient Egypt and Nubia. Following these two meetings, the nine contributions of this volume present often unpublished case studies (from the IVth millennium<span></span><span class="caps">BCE</span><span></span>to the Greco-Roman Period), as well as issues and perspectives of current research. They are authored by archaeologists working in Egypt, Sudan and Western Africa as well as architects specialised in earthen architecture.</p><p>The interdisciplinary approach adopted to investigate storage strategies along the ancient Nile Valley effectively address the subject’s complexity and the socioeconomic issues involved, which not only pertain to the ancient world but are also relevant to modern-day societies. Throughout the volume, functional and technical analysis of the architectural and archaeological remains helps understand how specific layouts, building materials and techniques were employed in the past to create suitable conditions for short-, medium- and long-term storage.</p><p>Ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological comparisons with West African vernacular traditions are used as a fruitful line of research for better understand of building practices, storage strategies and possible volumes of archaeological remains. Furthermore, extending the scope of the research to other geographical areas shows how different human groups may have used similar responses to overcome similar technical problems. Ancient and traditional practices and know-how, on the other hand, proved effective in a contemporary onion storehouse project in Senegal to find sustainable, low-cost solutions to protection and development of local products.</p><p>The volume also include the preliminary results of an experimental archaeology project which led to the construction of a mud-brick silo – according to ancient Egyptian techniques – and further ensiling. The issue is highly topical since these ancient earthen facilities offer valuable information for the current debates on sustainable strategies for foodstuff storage.</p> Leiden, 2023.

‎Guide to the Writings from Ancient Egypt. IF 1280. GIFAO 4.‎

‎<meta charset="utf-8"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Many scripts were used in ancient Egypt. If the hieroglyphs quite obviously take the lion's share, it is all the richness of the different writings that were used on the land of the pharaohs that is exposed here. What do we know about the writings of ancient Egypt, two hundred years after Jean-François Champollion deciphered hieroglyphs ? This Guide answers the question in an easily accessible format, presenting the current state of knowledge on the different scripts that were used in the Land of Pharaohs.</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The reader will find more than fifty articles written by specialists, presenting the diversity of scripts in time and space, explaining the main principles of their functioning, and describing the main contexts in which they were used. The guide begins by offering an overview of the scripts of Egypt, from the appearance of hieroglyphs up to the introduction of Arabic writing. It then explores the multiple aspects of hieroglyphic writing : the number of glyphs and their classification, the relationship between written glyphs and figurative representations, the organization in space and the materiality of hieroglyphs, the relationship of hieroglyphic writing to spoken language, as well as the play on symbols and other so-called enigmatic uses.</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Finally, the guide focuses on the main uses of writing in ancient Egypt. Learning how to write, the use of movable and monumental material, inscriptions on objects and graffiti, the destruction of writing and systems of symbols are all practices that are considered. The use of writing for specific purposes-such as administrative, funerary or magical-or in specific socio-historical contexts is also adressed.</span> Le Caire, 2024 IFAO 360 p., nombreuses photographies, broché. 14,5 x 22‎
