    Dust, demons and pots : studies in honour of Colin A. Hope
    (Peeters, 2020) Hope, Colin A.; Warfe, Ashten R.; Gill, James C. R.; Hamilton, Caleb R.; Jean Pettman, Amy
    This volume brings together fifty-four studies on ancient Egypt and its interconnections with neighbouring regions to celebrate the career of Colin Hope. Presented by friends, colleagues and former students, contributions to the volume offer original research and fieldwork discoveries informed by new interpretations and insights on contemporary issues in Egyptology. In recognition of Colin Hope's extensive research interests, the subjects of discussion are wide-ranging in their exploration of the art, archaeology, language and literature of Egypt from prehistory to the pharaonic period, the Roman period and later. Also included are studies on the reception of Egyptology and discussions on museum collections and material conservation. A feature of the volume is the range of studies that come from contexts within the Nile Valley proper and the desert regions beyond. Together, the contrasting perspectives reflect important directions in an ever-expanding discipline and in the long-standing contributions made to it by Colin Hope

    The archive of Thotsutmis, son of Panouphis : early Ptolemaic ostraca from Deir el Bahari (O. Edgerton)
    (The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, Chicago,, 2021) Muhs, Brian Paul; Jay, Jacqueline E.; Scalf, Foy
    Through the publication and close examination of an archive of texts, the following volume attempts to reconstruct a microhistory of one man and his family working on the west bank of Thebes in the mortuary industry during the early Ptolemaic Period. Although only a rather rough micronarrative can be reconstructed for their activities, the integrity of the archive is essential to expanding and nuancing our view of these individuals and the associated events. Rarely have such collections been found in situ. 1 The forty-two ostraca published in this volume provide a rare opportunity to explore the intersections between an “intact” ancient archive of private administrative documents and the larger social and legal contexts into which they fit. A note is in order about the references throughout this volume. When referring to individual texts, cita tions follow the practice common in papyrology by using an accepted siglum, abbreviation, and number from the publication in which the text was published, e.g., O. Med. Habu, no. 63. Established sigla have been used where available. In certain cases, a siglum has been created because the authors thought it would prove useful to readers. Festschriften in which texts are consecutively numbered have been assigned sigla, e.g., FsZauzich 1. For texts found in publications without convenient sigla, they have been cited according to an author-date format followed by the number assigned by the original editor, e.g., Wångstedt 1968, no. 13, or by museum inventory number followed by an author-date reference, e.g., P. Berlin P. 3089 (Vittmann 1982, pp. 166–71). However, when a citation is made to the particular comments of the editor of the text, references follow the author-date format, e.g., Lichtheim 1957, p. 32. All bibliographic information for sigla and citations can be found in the list of abbreviations and sigla along with the bibliography. Line numbers to text are separated from their respective number by a period, so that O. Med. Habu, no. 63.1, signifies line 1 of the text assigned the catalog number sixty-three in Lichtheim 1957

    Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece: Studies on Ancient Greek Death and Burial
    (Archaeopress, 2020) Dimakis, Nikolas; Dijkstra, Tamara
    This volume is born out of the international workshop for early career scholars entitled ‘Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece’ that was held at the Netherlands Institute at Athens, Greece on December 1-2, 2016. The idea for this workshop stemmed from our mutual interest in ancient Greek death practices, and in understanding how the political, economic, and social realities that characterized Greek history related to funerary ideology and informed the ways in which the Greeks dealt with their dead. Two main questions are central to this problem: 1) how were local social structure and social roles – for example those the elderly or children, men or women, locals or migrants, or the poor or the wealthy – reflected in and motivated the way people were treated in death, and 2) how did large-scale developments such as political change and processes of ‘globalization’ influence death practice on the level of the individual, the social group, the local community, and the region.
