Coursework
The submission deadline for essay 1 is Thursday 4.12.2014 and for essay 2 Thursday, 12.3.2015. 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. How important is absolute chronology for writing a history of Egypt? 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. 2. Discuss the relevance of a “contextual approach” (M. Lehner) to pyram ids. 3. Explain the differences between the interaction of Egyptians with their neighbours as reflected in the archaeological record of Askut, Tell es-Sakan and Naukratis. 4. How representative is the modern environment of the Pharaonic landscape? Discuss with case-studies from the Nile valley, the Delta, and the deserts. 5. How would you define a future agenda for settlement archaeology in Egypt? Explain your priorities. 6. How important do you think mummification is for an archaeology of death in ancient Egypt? Essay 2 7. How has the development of archaeology informed the emergence of Egyptology in Europe? 8. Abydos and Thebes have been analysed as cultic landscapes. Can similar approaches be applied to Avaris/Pi-Ramesse? 9. In Methods and Aims in Archaeology (1904), Petrie defined pottery as the “essential alphabet of archaeology in every land ”. Do you agree? 10. Do you think that Egyptian art was intended for public consumption? Discuss 6
aspects of visibility and accessibility using Amarna as a main case-study. 11. Establish the archaeological and historical context of the object UC14394. How representative are “ear stelae” of religious practices in Egypt? 12. Was age more important than gender for social identity in New Kingdom Egypt? 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 following should not be included in the word-count: title page, contents pages, lists of figure and tables, abstract, preface, acknowledgements, bibliography, lists of references, captions and contents of tables and figures, appendices. General policies and procedures concerning courses and coursework, including submission procedures, assessment criteria, and general resources, are available in your Degree Handbook and on the following website: http://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/display/archadmin. It is essential that you read and comply with these. Note that some of the policies and procedures will be different depending on your status (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate taught, affiliate, graduate diploma, intercollegiate, interdepartmental). If in doubt, please consult your course coordinator. Examination
This course has a three hour unseen examination, which will be held during May; the specific date and time will be announced when the schedule of examinations is set by the College. In the examination, students will have to answer 3 out of 7 questions. Previous examination papers, with a similar format and examples of the style of questions which will be asked, are available for consultation in the Institute Library, and are available on the UCL Web-site. A revision session to discuss the examination will be held early in the third term.

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
13
people. We will explore in class to what extent 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 North-Eastern Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

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. Essential reading Adams, W. Y. 1997.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 19 th 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. Essential reading Bender, B. 2006. Place and Landscape.

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. Essential reading Assmann, J. 2001.

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. 16
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.

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 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. Assmann, J. 2011.
