The Archaeology of Pharaonic Egypt : Society and Culture, 2700–1700 BC PDF
by Richard (Universitat zu Koln) Bussmann
Part of the Cambridge World Archaeology series
Description
In this book, Richard Bussmann presents a fresh overview of ancient Egyptian society and culture in the age of the pyramids.
He addresses key themes in the comparative research of early complex societies, including urbanism, funerary culture, temple ritual, kingship, and the state, and explores how ideas and practices were exchanged between ruling elites and local communities in provincial Egypt.
Unlike other studies of ancient Egypt, this book adopts an anthropological approach that places people at the centre of the analysis.
Bussmann covers a range of important themes in cross-cultural debates, such as materiality, gender, non-elite culture, and the body.
He also offers new perspectives on social diversity and cultural cohesion, based on recent discoveries.
His study vividly illustrates how our understanding of ancient Egyptian society benefits from the application of theoretical concepts in archaeology and anthropology to the interpretation of the evidence.
