Excavating the Extra-Ordinary: Challenges & Merits of Working with Small Finds: Proceedings of the International Egyptological Workshop at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, 8–9 April 2019
The topic of the international workshop “Excavating the Extra-Ordinary. Challenges and merits of workings with small finds” was the challenging task of working with seemingly ‘ordinary’ small objects and their processing. On this occasion in April 2019 at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, experts from Egyptological excavations, museums and institutions presented and discussed current issues. The present volume offers contributions held at the workshop, including the handling of vast amounts of material, fragmentary finds and methodological questions. The diversity of the discussed materials covers pottery, wooden and bone artifacts, as well as metal objects. Another focus lies on the scientific evaluation of insufficient early documentations and disturbed find contexts.
Schöne Denkmäler sind entstanden: Studien zu Ehren von Ursula Verhoeven
This anthology " Schöne Denkmäler sind entstanden" brings together studies in honor of Ursula Verhoeven. The diverse contributions by Egyptological colleagues and former students reflect the thematic and methodological breadth of the Egyptologist's research interests. These include Egyptian scribal culture, especially cursive scripts, their development and interdependencies with monumental hieroglyphs, as well as their (digital) paleographic analysis, Egyptian papyri, graffiti, and dipinti, literary and funerary texts, funerary culture, religion, the world of the gods, cultural history, and many more.
