Na kolejnym spotkaniu z serii „Pot Talks” wystąpi prof. dr Julia Budka (Uniwersytet Monachijski) z referatem: „Settlement ceramics & social practices in urban and rural Bronze Age Nubia: Some results from the ERC Diverse Nile Project”.
Abstrakt: Recent advances in the last few decades have considerably improved our knowledge of the pottery of settlements in ancient Egypt and Nubia during the New Kingdom period. Both Egyptian (wheel-made) and Nubian (hand-made) pottery traditions are attested from settlement sites of the New Kingdom in Nubia. This coexistence of pottery and handmade traditions is generally well documented – e.g. in Egypt at Elephantine for thousands of years and in Nubia since the Middle Kingdom.
This presentation presents ceramics from two different domestic contexts: 1) the island of Sai, a New Kingdom temple town in Upper Nubia with a colonial administration and an elite site occupied by Egyptians and Nubians; and 2) the site of Attab West 001, a rural settlement in the hinterland of Sai, which appears to have been inhabited by both Egyptians and Nubians during the early 18th Dynasty and probably served as a distribution centre for gold expedition’s supplies.
Parallels and differences between the ceramic assemblages from these two sites will be discussed, focusing on possible distribution patterns of vessels at one of the most important urban sites and its rural environs. Considerations on functional aspects, local productions and communities of style will also be discussed.
Seminarium odbędzie się w trybie zdalnym, we czwartek 28 listopada 2024 r. o godzinie 14.00 na platformie Zoom.
