Description

This book examines a group of twelve ancient Egyptian tombs (ca. 2300 BCE) within the elite Old Kingdom cemetery of Elephantine at Qubbet el-Hawa in brand new Aswan. It develops an interdisciplinary solution to the fabric – drawing on methods from art history, archaeology, anthropology, and sociology, including agency theory, the role of style, the reflexive relationship between people and landscape, and the character of locality and community identity. A careful examination of the architecture, setting, and unique text and image programs of these tombs in context provides a foundation for making an allowance for how ancient Egyptian provincial communities bonded to one another, developed shared identities inside the broader Egyptian world, and expressed these identities through their personal types of visual and subject material culture.
