L'Usage de la 3D en Archéologie
No full textInternational audienceThe use of 3D medeling in archaeology has developed front the straightforwad production of images for illustrative purposes into becoming an effective tool to aid scientific archaeological research Virtual Reality allows not only the restoration of ancient structures which have now disappeared but also permits the testing of new hypotheses as ti how these structures worked. A particular use wuthin Egyptology has been the non-invasive studies of mummies with this new technology. However, in view of the importance of architectural remains along the Nile valley, there can be little doubt that the most significant potential lies in the virtual restoration of those structures. Although 3D images allow the public to understand better these processes, we should never lose sight of the fact that their production was driven by underbying scientific goals. A 3D technological ^platform specifically for work with our architectural heritage has been created in Bordeaux, it is especially adapted for 3D scanning, modelling and maintaining the persistence of 3D digital data

A Label for Opening of the Mouth Implements from the Burial of Senneferi (TT99) and Remarks on the Ritual
No full textIn 2009, Nigel Strudwick published a paper drawing attention to a number of objects found in TT99 which seem to have been used in the Opening of the Mouth ritual. In 2015 an hieratic label from the same burial was identified as possibly belonging to a bag or box in which these items were kept. This paper presents a full edition of the label, and offers further comments on the context where the objects were found, and also indicates lines of research for further study of the Opening of the Mouth ritual.In 2009, Nigel Strudwick published a paper drawing attention to a number of objects found in TT99 which seem to have been used in the Opening of the Mouth ritual.

Ancient robbery and reuse between the late Eighteenth and the early Nineteenth Dynasty: a view from the tomb MIDAN.05 at Dra Abu el-Naga
No full textTomb robberies were common practice in ancient Egypt, as attested by textual sources and archaeological
evidence. In recent years, many studies pointed to a further factor that could disrupt the original burial
settings: the reuse of coffins and grave goods. Nigel Strudwick has provided important and stimulating thoughts on
both topics. The two elements — robberies and reuse — intertwined and interacted in different ways, depending on
the situation, making the overall picture not so immediately obvious. These aspects also raise a significant problem:
the religious attitude of the ancient Egyptians involved, especially in the case of reuse. Usually, reuse seems to
spread at the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period, along with a remarkable increase in tomb robberies.
Evidence from shaft P3, located in the courtyard of tomb MIDAN.05 at Dra Abu el-Naga (Theban necropolis),
whose archaeological investigation was completed in 2014 by the expedition of the University of Pisa, reveals that it
was already practiced in the late Eighteenth–early Nineteenth Dynasty, in the social context of the Theban elite and
in a period of generally widespread wealth and prosperity. This paper shall examine issues and problems raised by
such practice in the light of the findings and the archaeological context of shaft P3
