Modern Trends in European Egyptology

Description

This volume of proceedings based on the three Egyptology panels of the 9th annual EAA Conference, held in St Petersburg, gathers papers addressing several issues concerned with various aspects of current Egyptological research, especially with the cultural interactions and feedback between Egypt and Hellas (mainly during Late Antiquity), as well as with issues related to the modern interdisciplinary domains of Archaeoastronomy and Informatized Egyptology. Papers include studies of specific collections such as the mummies of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, obscene figurines in the Musée Municipal de Limoges and textiles at the Benaki Museum; examinations of the development of the early Egyptian state, and of ancient Memphis in the context of the Helleno-Roman world; contemporary issues in Egyptology as a discipline and practice, and more.
