This is a classic study into the Egyptians' use of the past, focusing on the pictures and texts common in Ancient Egypt showing groupings of kings. The author discusses the genesis and development of the "king list" tradition, following a tradition over three millennia.
This sign list is designed as a accompaniment to James Hoch's Middle Egyptian Grammar, a practical course for students of the Ancient Egyptian language.
A slim but useful study of utilitarian domestic pottery from Ancient Egypt. The author presents scenes involving pots from published Egyptian tombs. The pictures, reproduced in line drawings, show ceramics used in milking, water carrying, bread-making, brewing, wine-making, cooking and consumption.
This is a practical, modern introductory grammar for classroom and self-instruction. Unlike Alan Gardiner's monumental Egyptian Grammar , this is not intended as a reference work, and it is designed to be as user-friendly as possible by, for example, presenting simplified forms of genuine texts rather than diving straight into the originals.
A personal history and guide to the ritual site of Abydos, on the West bank of the Nile, which flourished from the Predynastic period until Christian times (c. 4000 BC to AD 641). The author moved to Egypt in 1933 and was involved in excavations with a number of Egyptian archaeologists.
This is a short 'position paper' describing the author's analysis of varying burial practices between the Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods in Egypt. This period has been seen as crucial in the development of a Pharaonic civilisation, and this is another building block in the study of growing inequalities.
