Abstract:
Mythopoetic thinking operates on a binary principle, classifying all the phenomena of the macro- and microcosm. The opposition between cosmos and chaos, in other words, between life and non-being, was fundamental. Spaces assimilated by culture, an ordered world, symbolized by various images: a pillar, a mountain, a temple, a dwelling, was conceived as the center of the universe, which was opposed by chaos that threatened order. These ideas about the world order were actualized in the sphere of ritual, designed to preserve the order created in the first times by the ancestors and gods. The repetition of the original myth in the ritual was supposed to restore, renew the world order in the cyclical movement of time. This applied both to the general Egyptian holidays, such as the New Year, and to the initiations that members of society took place at one stage or another of the development of Ancient Egyptian culture. Transitional rites had two aspects: age and social. When passing the initiation, the members of the collective increased their social status, became initiated, moving from adolescence to marital relations, increasing their status in the collective. A special position was occupied by leaders and kings, who confirmed their high position in society during the holiday sd. Funerals were also considered transitional rites. Transitional rituals united ideas about such opposites as life and death, which was equated with the loss of a person's previous social status. An indispensable attribute of rituals was sacrifice, and not only bloody of animals, but also sacrifice with ancient ritual objects during the construction of temples on the site of ancient sanctuaries. Notable examples have been associated with the kings in charge of the prosperity of Egypt.

Abstract:
Elite necropolises are the most important sources for studying the process of the formation of early states. In Ancient Egypt, this process took place over a long period of development of the sedentary culture Naqada, which developed in the 4th millennium BC, from its early phases to the final stages, when the political unification of Egypt took shape. Analysis of the burial architecture of elite burials from Hierakonpolis and Abydos, iconography, motifs and images depicted on ritual objects from tombs of the Late Dynastic and Early Dynastic times continue the scenes of hunting and battles characteristic of the earlier phases of the Naqada culture. However, their style is changing. The motives associated with the king as the protector of society, a successful warrior responsible for the stability and prosperity of Egypt come to the fore. Traditions and innovations, being oppositions, nevertheless work in an integral field, a kind of cultural and historical unity. And in terms of the socio-cultural development of Egypt, the elite necropolises of the Predynastic and Early dynastic periods provide extremely important and objective information about the formation of the first state in Egypt.

Abstract:
The article deals with some aspects of Peribsen’s policy. In author’s opinion this pharaoh of the Second dynasty possibly led military campaigns in Lower Egypt. This hypothesis can be maintained by the data of seal impressions, stone vessels and the steles from the Early Dynastic period. The author shows that Peribsen’s election of Seth as the god of royal power and replacement of traditional patron of Egyptian rulers Horus by him could be connected with disintegration of Egypt into two parts. The author shows that the toponyms %Tt and &A-mHw in Peribsen’s monuments must be connected with Lower Egypt. The fact that place-names are connected with the tribute from Delta to Peribsen can prove that this ruler tried to conquer Lower Egypt. In the present study the comparative historical research is used.

Abstract:
AbstractIt has often been reported that the ancient Egyptians performed tracheostomies. An analysis of this claim demonstrates it to be founded on only two depictions from the Protodynastic period (thirty-first centurybc). These depictions are difficult to reconcile with tracheostomy from an anatomical point of view and can more easily be explained as human sacrifices. Considering that Egyptian surgery included only minor procedures even at its zenith during later dynastic periods, it is difficult to imagine that they would have developed such an advanced procedure at such an early date.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates mortuary evidence from 3,207 Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egyptian tombs (ca. 4000-2686 BC) by means of the taphonomy-laden methodology Archaeothanatology. My research shows that Archaeothanatology coupled with a solid analytical framework including statistical analysis of large datasets, is fundamental to develop strong archaeological correlates to theoretical discussions over past bodies and agency, and obtain significant insights into the socio-ritual organisation of ancient Egypt. By using the burial evidence from Predynastic Egypt as a case study, I also contribute to the advancement of the archaeothanatological method, originally developed in the European temperate environment, by providing new insights into the taphonomy of cadavers decomposing in dry and hot climates. The fine-grained analytical tools offered by Archaeothanatology are essential to make inferences on the past gestes funéraires that influenced archaeological formation processes in the graves considered. In particular, I propose crucial insights into how bone distribution in tombs is influenced by taphonomic processes or anthropic actions; the onset of natural soft tissue desiccation; the use of now-decayed disposal types including reed mats and coffins; and the existence of different looting patterns and modalities. I also shed new light on less common and less investigated gestes funéraires, including plural tombs, secondary burials, and funerary body manipulations resulting in apparently inexplicable bone arrangements. Overall, the micro-scaled investigation of burial taphonomy and body treatments proposed in this thesis emphasises the dynamic and creative character of many Predynastic funerals within a common underlying framework. It also discloses Predynastic people’s multi-faceted attitudes to death, the body and the reproduction of social relations, which often involved the close engagement between the living and the corpse. This work also corroborates the role of Archaeothanatology in bridging between science-based and theory-laden approaches to past bodies, suggesting that it should be implemented more consistently in funerary archaeology.

Full text
Abstract:
The largest corpus of the earliest scriptorial material from Egypt comprises over 433 small, perforated labels of the period c. 3300/3100-c. 2800/2770 BCE, from Abydos (373 labels) and six other cemetery sites in the Nile Valley. As traditional sources for Egyptian philology, these objects are not typically studied for their artefactual or material qualities. Yet, script and image are products of a range of technological intentions, actions and transformations in both their production and use. Fundamental ambiguities in philological readings warrant a more cautious and holistic approach than previously taken to this material. My research aims are to understand how the inscribed labels were materially and graphically constructed through embodied technological practices and how these features informed and re-informed making and use in the negotiation of certain social relationships. My methodological framework directs analysis to three areas: material properties of the labels, image composition, and archaeological context. A particular innovation is the application of the software program ATLAS.ti for detailed analysis of imagery. ATLAS.ti facilitates the grounding of analysis in the objects, with tools to manage graphic files, and to explore data systematically. Questions concerning how the materiality of the labels availed or constrained embodied engagement of makers and consumers have also been explored through experimental archaeology. For my theoretical basis, I draw particularly upon the work of sociologists Anthony Giddens and Etienne Wenger in order to understand the relationship between the inscribed labels and social practice. Analysis of the archaeological context focuses on inter- and intra-site distribution and on isolating the more secure contexts and associations. Study of material properties and techniques illustrates the material embeddedness of imagery. The visual repertoire is presented and discussed, followed by a detailed analysis of image distribution, organisation and associations. Patterning reveals types of compositional principles employed and how these were transformed and negotiated by label-composers across time and space. These results are also considered within the context of contemporary visual culture, and the broader social historical context of early Egyptian state formation.

Abstract:
The corpus of artifacts from the Lagas state constitutes what is arguably the single largest cohesive body of elite representational display forms thus far discovered to have come from Early Dynastic (ED) Sumer. Unlike the equally extraordinary finds from ED levels of Ur, which consist primarily of grave goods and small finds (Woolley 1934; Woolley 1956), what is unique about the finds from Lagas is that the majority of them are programmatic artifacts that were intended to be displayed to specific audiences. Specifically, many of them are relief carvings or, to a lesser degree, statues that were carefully composed and executed in order to encode and transmit carefully constructed messages on the part of individual rulers, or the religious establishment. As such, the ED Lagas corpus is a particularly important record of how one particular group of Sumerian rulers viewed themselves and how the wished to be viewed by others.

Abstract:
Dans l’Égypte pré- et protodynastique (3900-2700 av. J.-C.), l’imagerie anthropomorphe occupe une place de prime importance. Relevant de trois modes de communication – iconographique, ambigu et écrit – ces figurations humaines sont reproduites sur un large éventail de types de supports. Tandis que les études se focalisent habituellement sur une catégorie de source, ce travail se concentre sur un motif précis, la figure anthropomorphe, et propose ainsi une approche transversale de l’imagerie anthropomorphe pré- et protodynastique. Ainsi, cette étude vise à déterminer l’évolution des représentations anthropomorphes au cours de ces périodes, à travers elles, à dévoiler la manière dont se concevaient les premiers Égyptiens. La recherche se fonde sur l’élaboration de typologies des figures humaines et des motifs associés, couplée à une étude statistique des données ainsi réunies. Les résultats de ce travail ont permis de révéler une évolution chronologique des figurations humaines, avec une nette rupture se dessinant entre Prédynastique et Protodynastique. Cette transition est à mettre en lien avec l’introduction d’une monarchie royale, provoquant une dichotomie entre documentations royale et privée en raison d’une mainmise de l’État sur l’expression artistique. Les figurations anthropomorphes témoignent par ailleurs de l’émergence, outre l’identité collective préexistante, d’une identité personnelle, gage d’une individualisation grandissante
During the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods (3900-2700 B.C.), anthropomorphic imagery is a theme of prime importance in Egyptian art. Human figures coming from the iconographic, ambiguous and written modes of communication are depicted on a large range of sources. While most of the studies focus on a single type of document, this work concentrates on a particular pattern, the human figure, by proposing a transversal approach of the anthropomorphic imagery. Therefore, this study aims to constrain the evolution of the human depictions during these periods. Through the inspection of the human figures, the study also aims to unravel the way the first Egyptians conceptualised themselves. This work is based on the creation of typologies for the human figures and associated patterns, analysed using statistical tools.The results reveal a chronological evolution of the human figures, with a distinct rupture between the Predynastic Period and the Early Dynastic Period. This transition relates to the introduction of a royal monarchy. This introduction causes a dichotomy between royal and private documentations owing to the appropriation of the art by the state. Besides, the anthropomorphic figures show the appearance of a personal identity in addition to the pre-existent collective identity. This feature is evidence of an increasing individuation

Abstract:
Tematem niniejszej rozprawy doktorskiej są badania stanowisk archeologicznych położonych w mikro-regionie Gebelein, znajdującym się w południowym Egipcie, około 28 km na południowy zachód od Luksoru. Są one datowane na IV tys. p.n.e. Miejsce to było przedmiotem licznych nielegalnych poszukiwań zabytków i prac archeologicznych, co najmniej od 1884 r. Wyniki tych wczesnych badań nigdy nie zostały opublikowane na dostatecznym poziomie, podobnie jak rezultaty późniejszych prac archeologicznych. Nie mniej, były one kamieniem milowym w badaniach nad genezą starożytnego Egiptu. Północna Nekropola w Gebelein była pierwszym przebadanym predynastycznym stanowiskiem archeologicznym z opublikowanymi wynikami badań. Odkryte tam zabytki wywołały zainteresowanie specjalistów. Nie potrafiono jeszcze wtedy ustalić właściwego datowania owych artefaktów, jednak stały się one przyczyną, wraz z zabytkami z innych miejsc w Egipcie, ożywionej dyskusji wśród badaczy, która w późniejszych latach doprowadziła do prawidłowego przyporządkowania ich do czasów pre- i wczesnodynastycznych. Od 1885 roku na obszarze Gebelein miały miejsce regularne prace archeologiczne. O ich wynikach prawie nic nie wiadomo. Pierwszym celem niniejszej rozprawy jest więc rekonstrukcja historii badań mikro-regionu Gebelein. W oparciu o publikacje, niepublikowane archiwalne dokumenty (np. inwentarze muzealne, dzienniki badań, korespondencje, fotografie), jak i prace terenowe autora niniejszej rozprawy, ustalono miejsca wykopalisk różnych misji archeologicznych. Zabytki pochodzące z Gebelein zostały przedstawione w katalogu będącym częścią rozprawy. Udało się też ustalić w niektórych przypadkach, na których stanowiskach je odnaleziono. Powyższe działania umożliwiły realizacje kolejnego celu badań, tj. rekonstrukcji topografii archeologicznej tego terenu. Ustalono położenie, funkcje i datowanie stanowisk archeologicznych w obrębie Gebelein. Liczne zabytki, które pochodzą z Gebelein skłaniały badaczy do spekulacji na temat rangi ośrodka znajdującego się w czasach pre- i wczesnodynastycznych w tym mikroregionie. Niektórzy specjaliści sugerowali, że mogła się tam znajdować stolica proto-państwa. Inni natomiast podważali takie interpretacje. Wszyscy jednak wskazywali na brak dostatecznych badań nad Gebelein w owych czasach. Ostatnim więc celem niniejszej rozprawy doktorskiej jest ocena znaczenia i roli jaką pełnił mikro-region Gebelein w czasach formowania się państwa egipskiego. Niezbędne jest zaprezentowanie szerokiego tła procesów jakie dokonywały się wtedy nad Nilem, a zwłaszcza na terenach wczesnych ośrodków politycznych, opisanie zabytków pochodzących z Gebelein i porównanie owych artefaktów, jak i procesów z analogiami z innych stolic proto-państw. W efekcie badań ustalono, że na Północnej Nekropoli Gebelein odkryto najwięcej zabytków świadczących o wysokim statusie społecznym pochowanych tam osób. Było to cmentarzysko miasta Sumenu. Na podstawie dostępnego materiału można wnioskować, że najpewniej to ono było wiodącym ośrodkiem tego mikro-regionu i stolicą miejscowego protopaństwa. Co więcej, wychodząc poza ścisłe ramy celów niniejszej rozprawy, autor zauważył, że stolice proto-państw znajdowały się w równych od siebie odległościach około 50 km. Zapewne geneza ich rang jako stolic wywodzi się z ich wcześniejszej roli jako lokalnych ośrodków centralnych związanych z redystrybucją dóbr.
The subject of this doctoral thesis is the study of archaeological sites located in the micro-region of Gebelein, which is located in southern Egypt, about 28 km south-west of Luxor. They are dated to the 4th and early 3rd millennium BC. This place was the subject of numerous legal and illegal excavations since at least 1884. The results of these works have never been published in sufficient extent. Nevertheless, they were crucial for studies of the origins of ancient Egypt. The Northern Necropolis of Gebelein was the first excavated predynastic site with published research results (although in very limited extent). The artefacts discovered there brought interest of specialists. The Predynastic Period was not yet recognised back then, so the objects found at Gebelein and other sites fuelled a discussion among researchers, which in later years led to the correct dating of these objects to the Pre- and Early Dynastic Periods. Official archaeological works at Gebelein were initiated in 1885 and were continued by several scholar for the following years in irregular time intervals, but most of their results are almost unknown. Therefore, the first goal of this dissertation was the reconstruction of the research history of the Gebelein micro-region. Based on publications, unpublished archival documents (e.g. museum inventories, excavations journals, correspondence, photographs etc.), as well as field works of the author of this dissertation, locations of the archaeological sites have been established, as well as where and when various archaeological missions were working. Artefacts sourced from Gebelein are presented in the catalogue being part of this dissertation. It was also possible to establish, in some cases, where at Gebelein some objects were found. This helped to reconstruct the archaeological topography of this area. Numerous artefacts that come from Gebelein prompted researchers to speculate on the rank of the centre located in pre- and early dynastic times in this micro-region. Some specialists suggested that a proto-state capital was located there. While others challenged such interpretations. Nonetheless, everyone agree that the lack of sufficient research on Gebelein unable proper evaluation of the significance of this area. Therefore, one of the goals of this PhD thesis is an assessment of the importance and role played by the settlements at Gebelein in the times of formation of ancient Egyptian state. To achieve this it was necessary to present a wide background of the processes that took place along the Nile during the times in question, especially in the areas of early political centres, analysing artefacts from Gebelein, and comparing these objects and archaeological topography of Gebelein with proto-state capitals and low-ranking sites to understand the significance of Gebelein. As a result of the research, it was concluded that there was a political centre in the Gebelein micro-region, and it was established that the largest number of opulent artefacts at Gebelein was found at the North Necropolis, which was cemetery of the city of Sumenu. Based on the available material, it can be concluded that most likely this town was the leading centre of this micro-region and the capital of the local proto-state. Furthermore, going beyond the strict objectives of this dissertation, the author observed that capitals of the proto-states were at equal distances from each other, about 50 km from each other (with the exception of Middle Egypt where such early sites are poorly known). The genesis of their rank as capitals of proto-states originated from their earlier roles as local centres related to the redistribution of goods.

Abstract:
This thesis is a multi-disciplinary survey of the Central Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age (1500-1200 BC) illustrated with an abundant use of maps and tables. The purpose is to determine how the Jordan Valley functioned as an economic unit during the Late Bronze Age. This thesis surveys the geographical, historical and archaeological records related to the Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age. A chapter is devoted to each field, geography (physical and human), history (Egyptian and Hebrew Bible) and archaeology. The data from each discipline is used to individually answer two questions: 1) was the Jordan Valley a single geographic/economic unit in the Late Bronze Age? 2) to what extent was the Jordan Valley integrated/interacting with the east-west highlands and the larger region in the Late Bronze Age? The primary objectives are to 1) explore and model a historical geographic hermeneutic for understanding the human experience of the Ancient Near East; and 2) lay a foundation for understanding the role of the Jordan Valley in affecting the Biblical periods of the Israelite monarchy to the Roman period.The answers from each chapter are then synthesized into a single geographic historical archaeological picture of the Central Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age. The Central Jordan Valley was divided into two sections: a fertile, populated, well connected north-central section and an isolated, sparsely populated southern section with limited agricultural zones. Trade with and between the eastern and western highlands is well represented by artifactual parallels in and through the Jordan Valley, the north-central section on a regional and international scale and the southern section on a more local scale. The thesis concludes that there are more artifactual points of connection between the Jordan Valley and the eastern highlands than with the western highlands. An ‘early conquest’ model of the Hebrew Bible is plausible within the historical records of the Egyptian 18th and 19th Dynasties and the geographical and archaeological records of the Jordan Valley during the Late Bronze Age.

Abstract:
The Early Dynastic period of Egypt was a time of transition during which the complex territorial state that knit together the Nile delta and the Nile valley north of the First Cataract achieved its first stable form. Consisting of the First and Second Dynasties, roughly the thirty-second to twenty-seventh centuries BC, the period is markedly one of change and innovation. During this period many of the central elements of pharaonic kingship were either introduced or codified, including the relationship of the king to the god Horus, extensive use of the hieroglyphic script, urbanism, royal festivals, some administrative practices, and many visual symbols of kingship that would persist for millennia. This chapter provides an overview of the current state of understanding of the Early Dynastic period. It presents a chronological history anchored on royal documents and monuments for the period but also considers thematic elements, such as regional variation, foreign interaction, and the nature of extant sources, that highlight ways in which a traditional historical narrative obscures the complexity of the establishment of the Egyptian state.
