Book Description
Throughout Egypt’s long history, pottery sherds and flakes of limestone were commonly used for drawings and short-form texts in a number of languages. These objects are conventionally called ostraca, and thousands of them have been and continue to be discovered. This volume highlights some of the methodologies that have been developed for analyzing the archaeological contexts, material aspects, and textual peculiarities of ostraca.

Book Description
Archives are considered to be collections of administrative, legal, commercial and other records or the actual place where they are located. They have become ubiquitous in the modern world, but emerged not much later than the invention of writing. Following Foucault, who first used the word archive in a metaphorical sense as "the general system of the formation and transformation of statements" in his "Archaeology of Knowledge" (1969), postmodern theorists have tried to exploit the potential of this concept and initiated the "archival turn". In recent years, however, archives have attracted the attention of anthropologists and historians of different denominations regarding them as historical objects and "grounding" them again in real institutions. The papers in this volume explore the complex topic of the archive in a historical, systematic and comparative context and view it in the broader context of manuscript cultures by addressing questions like how, by whom and for which purpose were archival records produced, and if they differ from literary manuscripts regarding materials, formats, and producers (scribes).
Hieratic Ostraca in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow
Author: A. G. McDowellPublisher: Griffith Inst
ISBN: 9780900416590
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
This volume presents the twenty-seven limestone and hieratic ostraca collected by the Reverend Colin Campbell in Egypt at the turn of the century and donated by him to the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. All but one come from the New Kingdom community of Deir el-Medina, the exception being a Ptolemaic copy of the Offering of the mnw-vase, hitherto known only from inscriptions. The main group of ostraca contains hymns, magical, literary, administrative, legal and economic texts. Particularly interesting examples include a letter about the inheritance of a group of slaves, and what appears to be record of a son's support for his retired father. Many of these texts are published here for the first time; they are presented in facsimiles and transcriptions, and furnished with full translation and commentary. Indexes of personal names and Egyptian words discussed in the commentary complete the book.
