The historical topography of Samarra /
:
The Historical Topography of Samarra sets out to explain the second capital of the Abbasid caliphs at Samarra, on the Tigris above Baghdad, in the period 836 to 892 AD, by an analysis of the archaeological site and the medieval Arabic texts which describe it. The volume defines for the first time the nature of city construction by the Abbasid caliphs, one of the world powers of the time, and the foundation of modern Iraq. It is the first of a series of Samarra Studies." -- BOOK JACKET.

Historical and archaeological aspects of Egyptian funerary culture : religious ideas and ritual practice in Middle Kingdom elite cemeteries /
:
Historical and Archaeological Aspects of Egyptian Funerary Culture , a thoroughly reworked translation of Les textes des sarcophages et la démocratie published in 2008, challenges the widespread idea that the "royal" Pyramid Texts of the Old Kingdom after a process of "democratisation" became, in the Middle Kingdom, accessible even to the average Egyptian in the form of the Coffin Texts. Rather they remained an element of elite funerary culture, and particularly so in the Upper Egyptian nomes. The author traces the emergence here of the so-called "nomarchs" and their survival in the Middle Kingdom. The site of Dayr al-Barshā, currently under excavation, shows how nomarch cemeteries could even develop into large-scale processional landscapes intended for the cult of the local ruler. This book also provides an updated list of the hundreds of (mostly unpublished) Middle Kingdom coffins and proposes a new reference system for these.

"This work is based upon and retrieved from the 'Geographic Information System' (GIS) and the database that were created through the Egyptian Antiquities Information System (EAIS) project in the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). The objective of this project is to gradually develop a comprehensive official documentation of historical sites in all the governorates of Egypt, and consequently to provide realistic and coherent site information, not only to researchers, but primarily to governmental agencies, which would use this information in protecting and managing the sites. The Cahiers consists of two parts: The first part, in paper format, contains introductory manuals, attribute tables of all sites, satellite images, topographical maps and keys of cadastral maps covering the whole governorate. The second part, in digital format (CD), contains an individual descriptive Cahiers for each site, sorted by markaz, and including detailed maps and information about the history, archaeological contents, legal status, state of preservation, and bibliography of each site"--Book jacket. :
