Where have all the Shabtis gone? The Effects of Petrie's Project Funding for Research in the 21st Century
No full textThe Ramesside Period nowadays appears to be one of the focal points of research not just for Edgar Pusch whom we pay our tribute with this volume, but for the whole field of Egyptology. But this intense interestin Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Egypt has not prevailed throughout the history of the discipline. As this article will show the situation at the beginning of the 20th century was different. Aesthetic perceptions towards Ramesside objects and the idea of a cultural decline, which already was set to begin at the onset of the 19th Dynasty can be traced in the fieldwork as well as in the publications of William Matthew Flinders Petrie and – closely related to that – in the collections of museums that received objects from the excavations of the founding father of Egyptian archaeology. This results in repercussions for today’s research and influences the re-evaluation of old projects and new attempts to interpret the data of such excavations in detail. As a case study serves the
1920/21 excavation of the necropolis of Heracleopolis Magna at Sedment conducted by Petrie and Guy Brunton under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt

Conflict Archaeology
No full textThe study of conflict has emerged over the first two decades of the 21st century to become an increasingly interesting and respected branch of archaeology. It covers a diverse range of phenomena related to violence and military practice, addresses all periods from the deepest human past to the present, and goes beyond a concern with the past to offering therapeutic opportunities in the present. This entry provides an introduction to the breadth of the field by a review of its historical development from the 19th century, of how it works in practice in the present, and current themes of concern
