Parkinson: The Ramesseum Papyri, Online research catalogue
Parkinson: The Ramesseum Papyri,
British Museum Online research catalogues
This online research catalogue brings together for the first time all of the surviving Middle Kingdom papyri from a 13th Dynasty shaft-tomb at Luxor that was later covered by the funerary temple of Ramses II, known as the Ramesseum. This unique library is now held in the British Museum (136 frames of papyri) and the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Berlin (38 frames). The catalogue presents a comprehensive photographic record of these fragile papyri and a discussion of their archaeological context.

Biston-Moulin: Le roi Sénakht-en-Rê Ahmès de la XVIIe dynastie
Sébastien Biston-Moulin
"Le roi Sénakht-en-Rê Ahmès de la XVIIe dynastie"
ENIM 5, p. 61-71
Abstract :
"Publication of two elements of a granary door bearing the name of king Senakhtenre Ahmose recently discovered near the temple of Ptah at Karnak. The inscriptions allow this king of the seventeenth dynasty, previously only known through the coronation name in later king-lists, to be identified more precisely. They also finally resolve uncertainties about his birth name: Ahmose. The designations of Senakhtenre Tao I or Senakhtenre Siamun for this king must be abandoned. Suggestions for identifying the king’s tomb in the Ramesside report of investigations in the Theban necropolis recorded in Papyrus Abbott must also be rejected. Only one king bears the birth name Tao: Seqenenre. That Ahmose is the son of Re name of Senakhtenre leads to the conclusion that this king must be a member of the Ahmoside royal family of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth dynasties, of which he is to date the oldest known representative. Finally, documents that bear only the son of Re name “Ahmose” can now be attributed to either Senakhtenre Ahmose or Nebpehtyre Ahmose."

Silva: Free Will in Ancient Egypt according to the Instruction of Ptahhotep

"This thesis tackles the problem of free will in ancient Egypt having as point of departure the Instruction of Ptahhotep. In order to assess the status and conception of free will in a given culture one has to grasp the way that very culture understands man as an agent ... Besides the agent conception, it is also important to address the principal obstacle to free will, which in the foregoing instruction are the gods ... At the conclusion it was inferred that the importance given to moral responsibility in the extant written record is determinant to the status of free will; even though some may be determined by a god, those who are not have the possibility to will freely."

James: Herihor’s Kingship and the High Priest of Amun Piankh
James, P. and Morkot, R., 2010.
“Herihor’s Kingship and the High Priest of Amun Piankh”,
Journal of Egyptian History 3:2, 231-260.
http://www.centuries.co.uk/herihors-kingship.pdf
"The theory of Jansen-Winkeln, which argues for a reversal of the traditional order of the late 20th-dynasty High Priests of Amun Herihor and Piankh, has provoked considerable controversy. The key to a resolution seems to lie in recognising that Herihor, on his elevation to kingship, was able (like later monarchs of the TIP) to co-opt a colleague/relative as High Priest of Amun. This way Piankh’s pontificate can be placed within the reign of King Herihor, explaining the genealogical and other evidence which might otherwise suggest a reversal of the two but avoiding the pitfalls of Jansen-Winkeln’s case. The evidence suggests a shortening of the high priestly genealogy at this period by one to two generations (from the standard/Kitchen model). A first step is offered here towards a new model involving a short overlap between the 20th and 21st dynasties, as well as between Herihor and Pinudjem I, as Upper Egyptian kings based at Thebes."

Umsomehr darf ich bei diesem Versuch Nachsicht in Anspruch nehmen." - "Sogleich mit seinen ersten Veröffentlichungen (unter anderem Die Pluralbildung im Ägyptischen, 1878) führte Erman die Ägyptologie aus dem Stillstand nach der Entzifferung der Hieroglyphen zu der neuen Aufgabe systematischer Erforschung des Baus und der grammatikalischen Konstruktion der Sprache."

OIMP 34: Picturing the Past
OIMP 34.
Picturing the Past: Imaging and Imagining the Ancient Middle East.
Edited by Jack Green, Emily Teeter, and John A. Larson.
Oriental Institute Museum Publications 34.
Chicago: The Oriental Institute, 2012.
Pp. 184; 168 illustrations. ISBN 978-1-885923-89-9. $29.95
http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/pubs/catalog/oimp/oimp34.html
This fully illustrated catalog of essays, descriptions, and commentary accompanies the Oriental Institute special exhibit Picturing the Past: Imaging and Imagining the Ancient Middle East (on exhibit February 7 through September 2, 2012). Picturing the Past presents paintings, architectural reconstructions, facsimiles, models, photographs, and computer-aided reconstructions that show how the architecture, sites, and artifacts of the ancient Middle East have been documented. It also examines how the publication of those images have shaped our perception of the ancient world, and how some of the more "imaginary" reconstructions have obscured our real understanding of the past. The exhibit and catalog also show how features of the ancient Middle East have been presented in different ways for different audiences, in some cases transforming a highly academic image into a widely recognized icon of the past.

Patten: Pottery from the late period to the early Roman period from Dakhleh Oasis
Patten, Shirley Fay (2000)
This thesis analyses a body of largely unpublished ceramic material from Dakhleh Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. The material is primarily from the survey of Dakhleh Oasis and the testing of sites by members of the Dakhleh Oasis Project and, except for some Phase 4 material recovered from excavations at Ismant el-Kharab, is unstratified. It covers a thousand years of Egyptian pottery-making from the eighth century BC to the late second century AD. -- A comprehensive survey of published and unpublished material from other sites in Egypt and adjacent regions has been undertaken to acquire comparative material for the pottery from Dakhleh Oasis. In addition, a study of the technical characteristics of the vessels that have remained accessible has been undertaken to describe and explain ancient pottery practices and to build up a framework for comparative purposes. -- With this body of information, a vessel typology divided into two series, each of which are further divided into two phases, has been devised and the chronology of the vessels determined. This ceramic typology has been used to compare surveyed sites of different utilisation - cemetery, settlement and temple sites - and to establish a dating system for these sites. The resulting chronology will be a guide to the determination of future excavations in the oasis and will assist in the on-going study of the socio-economic development of the oasis. The typology also provides a corpus of pottery for the processing of material from future excavations in Dakhleh Oasis and information for other ceramicists working in Egypt and elsewhere. -- The comparative survey of ceramic material from other sites demonstrates that Dakhleh Oasis, although a remote region in the Western Desert of Egypt, maintained contact with the Nile Valley and more distant areas. It also shows that, while this interaction influenced local pottery styles, the oasis retained and developed its own pottery traditions. -- In addition, a preliminary analysis has been made of fabrics and clays for descriptive purposes and to increase knowledge of the ancient ceramics from the oasis. -- A database has also been built to store and manipulate the information on this extensive body of ceramic material from Dakhleh Oasis. The pottery drawings have been produced in a format readily accessible for electronic transfer to researchers in the field of Egyptian ceramics.

Rowell: Kleopatra III, a revisionist view
Rowell, Sheila Margaret (1991)
Kleopatra III, a revisionist view.
MA Thesis, Macquarie University
The purpose of this thesis is to review the historical role of Kleopatra III and to restore her good name, as a woman and as a queen, lost in the pejorative assessment of ancient and modern historians. Particular emphasis is laid upon her place in Ptolemaic ruler cult, principally manifested through the dynastic Alexander Cult of the Ptolemies.

Swinton: The dating of the tombs of officials of the Old Kingdom
Swinton, Joyce (2001)
The dating of the tombs of officials of the Old Kingdom of Egypt
Thesis (MA (Hons))--Macquarie University, Division of Humanities, Department of Ancient History.
This work offers a system for dating the tombs of officials of the Old Kingdom. The system depends on a typological study of the iconography of 106 tomb chapels, which are capable of being dated by evidence that does not derive from wall scenes. From this typological study, 114 features have been identified as having a 'life span' that is dated within the Old Kingdom. These features are accepted as dating criteria and are supported by Tables of their occurrence in the 106 tombs used to establish criteria. -- To test the reliability of the criteria and the validity of the system as a dating tool, the criteria have been applied to tombs which either are very broadly or contentiously dated, or have been recently dated by scholars using the latest techniques and knowledge. The resulting 'date profiles', submitted as Charts A to EE, show the criteria and system to be both reliable and valid inasmuch as the testing produced few discrepant results. The dates provided by this method were then compared with the dates assigned to the same tombs by other methods. While there was considerable agreement with the most recently dated tombs, the dating of other tombs tended to support earlier rather than later dates. -- Testing showed up some weaknesses in the system, which cannot provide secure dating for tombs in the first half of Dynasty 4 or the last half of Dynasty 6. However, the system appears valid and reliable for the dating of tombs in the second half of Dynasty 4, Dynasty 5 and the first half of Dynasty 6.
