Pottery and economy in Old Kingdom Egypt /
:
In Pottery and Economy in Old Kingdom Egypt , Leslie Anne Warden investigates the economic importance of utilitarian ceramics, particularly beer jars and bread moulds, in third millennium BC Egypt. The Egyptian economy at this period is frequently presented as state-centric or state-defined. This study forwards new methodology for a bottom-up approach to Egyptian economy, analyzing economic relationships through careful analysis of variation within the utilitarian wares which formed the basis of much economic exchange in the period. Beer jars and bread moulds, together with their archaeological, textual, and iconographic contexts, thus yield a framework for the economy which is fluid, agent-based, and defined by small scale, face-to-face relationships rather than the state.

Costumes of Egypt : The Lost legacies.
:
Costumes of Egypt: The Lost legacies, sums up decades of Shahira Mehrez's research: it is a four-volume work recording and tracing the origin of hitherto undocumented ways of dressing and jewelry of Egyptian women, most of which have today become obsolete. The costumes surveyed in this first volume establish the fact that irrespective of distant geographic locations, beyond religious and ethnic diversity, and throughout thousands of years of history and successive civilizations, Nubians, Nile Valley peasants, Bedouins and oasis dwellers, both Christian and Muslim, were heirs to the same legacy. Old and new emblems were melted into one tradition, defining a multifaceted but harmonious Egyptian identity.This tradition provides undeniable and tangible proof of the unity of the country and bears witness to the fact that throughout history these various communities were the different parts of a multicultural and pluralistic nation.
Costumes of Egypt, the lost legacies résume des décennies de recherche par Shahira Mehrez : il s'agit d'un ouvrage en quatre volumes qui recense et retrace l'origine de modes vestimentaires et de bijoux égyptiens jusqu'ici non documentés, dont la plupart sont aujourd'hui tombés en désuétude. Les costumes étudiés dans ce premier volume établissent qu'au-delà des situations géographiques éloignées, au-delà des diversités religieuses et ethniques, à travers des milliers d'années d'histoire et de civilisations successives, Nubiens, paysans de la Vallée du Nil, bédouins et habitants des oasis, à la fois chrétiens et musulmans, ont été les héritiers d'un même patrimoine. Anciens et nouveaux emblèmes se sont fondus dans une même tradition, définissant une identité égyptienne multiforme mais harmonieuse.Ils constituent une preuve indéniable et tangible de l'unité du pays et témoignent du fait que, tout au long de leur histoire, ces différentes communautés ont constitué les différentes facettes d'une nation multiculturelle et pluraliste.
