Gebel Adda and its environs: 50 years on
No full text[First paragraph] Following the 2015 Kirwan Memorial Lecture delivered by Dr Grzymski (see also Grzymski 2010) this
further brief article concerning the ARCE excavations at Gebel Adda has been prepared drawing on
personal records of one of the participants (RH) and information provided by Horst Jaritz and the late
Richard Edlund1 relating to a range of archaeological material in and around Gebel Adda. This
summarises a much more extensive series of notes prepared by the first author (RH) along with
drawings and photographs. With the aid of aerial photographs from the collections of George Gerster
a composite map of Gebel Adda and its environs has also been prepared (fig.1) indicating some of the
main sites in and around the ARCE concession including the outlines of the main cemeteries. It is
hoped that this may be useful for those working with the various published reports which lack
supporting mapping/plans

Gebel Adda Cemeteries 3 and 4 (1963-1964)
No full textThe excavation team of the American Research Center in
Egypt, under the direction of Dr Nicholas B. Millet, first
arrived at Gebel Adda in January 1963, for what were to
be four excavation seasons. Excavations started in Cemetery
1, which included numerous tumuli, extending over
c. 450m from the southern end of the concession to north
east of the Citadel (Millet 1963). Work began in the south
of the cemetery and excavated c. 127 tumuli, dated to the
later post-Meroitic (X-Group) period. In the same area,
amongst the tumuli, c. 30 medieval (Christian) graves were
also found, thought likely to date to the earliest period
of Christianization at Gebel Adda. Four examples of the
double domed mud-brick tombs of the post-medieval
(Islamic) period were also excavated in Cemetery One.
In March 1963 excavations were also begun in Cemetery
3, lying some 160m south east of the Citadel hill (Figure
1, Plate 1), an area covered with much wind-blown sand,
exposing c. 400 tombs during the first season (Millet 1963,
154). This work was continued in the second (1963-1964)
season (Millet 1964) and the third season, for which no
preliminary report was published (see also Millet 1967b;
1968; 2005; Grzymski 2010).
Some preliminary observations of this area were published
as the excavations were still underway by Millet (Millet 1963;
1964), but little else relating to this important work has yet
been published. However, the first author (RH), as a member
of the ARCE team, can throw some further light on some features of the excavations. Most importantly, having carried
out much of the original preparation of site plans, it has been
possible to reconstruct here some partial plans of Cemetery
3, which together with personal photographs of the site
provide some useful new information concerning this part of
the Gebel Adda excavations. Until the surviving site archives
are more fully studied, and hopefully published, this brief
report, as with previous reports (Huber and Edwards 2009;
2010), can provide a few further insights into the fascinating
and clearly complex history of the Gebel Adda cemeteries
The Tomb of Petosiris at Tuna el-Gebel. A study of Egyptian and Greek aspects of the tomb's decorative program
No full textThe BA thesis deals with scenes from the tomb of Petosiris in Tuna el-Gebel, which combine Egyptian, Greek and even some Persian iconographic elements. The author will analyse individual scenes, define specific elements and aim to answer two main questions. The first one concerns whether the degree of the use of non-Egyptian (iconographic) elements relates to the motif of the scene or its location within the tomb. The second question regards the motives that might have led Petosiris to use these elements in that very place.Bakalářská práce se zabývá vybranými scénami z Petosiridovy hrobky na pohřebišti v Tuna el- Gebel, které kombinují egyptské, řecké, a dokonce i některé perské ikonografické prvky. Autorka rozebere každou scénu zvlášť, určí jednotlivé prvky a následně se pokusí zodpovědět otázku, zda míra použití neegyptských prvků souvisí s motivem scény, případně jejím umístěním v rámci hrobky, a jaké důvody mohly Petosirida vést k jejich použití na daném místě.Český egyptologický ústavCzech Institute of EgyptologyFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult

'Sinopia'. Considerazioni su uso e funzioni nelle tombe di Cirene
No full textThe contribution focuses on a particular use of the ‘sinopia’ like it is testified by wall-paintings in the northern necropolis of Cyrene. In this analysis the word ‘sinopia’ indicates a preliminary drawing traced on the wall with a double finality. Actually the drawing is useful to definite the architectural project of the funerary chambers, that are rock-cut in the slopes of the Gebel Akdar. But it is also useful to definite the painting program, because it visualizes the distribution of the individual motifs composing the decoration. The different modes employed in tracing the synopia are also considered
Skill Mismatch : Measurement, Determinants, and Consequences
No full textKumulative Dissertation, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, 2024Skill mismatches are highly prevalent in today’s labour market and may cause serious costs and consequences for individuals, companies, and societies. This cumulative dissertation provides an umbrella view of skill mismatches. It addresses the core issues of skill mismatch, that is, adequate measurement, as well as the causes and consequences of individuals’ skill mismatches. The dissertation emphasizes the significance of applying the appropriate measurement method and demonstrates the crucial role of different facets of education for skill matching over the course of the career. In addition, it illustrates the implications of skill mismatches on individuals’ monetary and non-monetary labour market returns. For example, the findings show that the monetary consequences of skill mismatches can differ significantly depending on the skill domain and that individuals’ subjective perceptions of the skill mismatch situation are decisive for their subjectively perceived job quality

No full textDie Landschaft des ersten Nilkatarakts weist Tausende von pharaonischen Felsinschriften auf. Diese öffnen in der Verschränkung historischer, prosopographischer und funktionaler Informationen mit topographischen Befunden eine Quelle eigener Art zu dieser Schlüsselregion des Alten Ägypten. Dabei lassen die Inschriften des Heiligtums am Gebel Tingar den sozialen Mikrokosmos eines Steinbruchs rekonstruieren. Felsinschriften auf dem Ostufer nördlich der Ebene von Schellal und entlang der Passage durch den Katarakt schließen das in vieljähriger Arbeit aufgebaute Mosaik der großräumigen Verteilung der Inschriften und erlauben es, fokale Kommunikationsräume zu erkennen und soziokulturelle epigraphische Milieus und ihre Entwicklung zu unterscheiden.The landscape of the first Nile cataract features thousands of pharaonic rock inscriptions. Combining historical, prosopographical, and functional information in a topographic context, they offer a unique source of information on this key region of Ancient Egypt. The inscriptions of the sanctuary at Gebel Tingar allow the social microcosm of a quarry to be reconstructed. Rock inscriptions on the eastern bank north of the plain of Shellal and along the passage through the cataract now complete the mosaic of information on the distribution of inscriptions on a regional scale that was built up over many years of work. On this basis, it becomes possible to recognize focal communication spaces and distinguish socio-cultural epigraphic milieus and their development
