Contents:

Intro; Introduction; Sculpture workshops: who, where and for whom?; Simon Connor; The Artistic Copying Network Around the Tomb of Pahery in Elkab (EK3); A New Kingdom case study; Alisee Devillers; Antiquity Bound to Modernity; The significance of Egyptian workers in modern archaeology in Egypt; Maximilian Georg; Epistemological Things! Mystical Things!; Towards an ancient Egyptian ontology; Amr El Hawary; Centralized and Local Production, Adaptation, and Imitation; Twelfth Dynasty offering tables; Alexander Ilin-Tomich; To show and to designate.

Summary: This book provides an innovative analysis of the conditions of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship in the light of the archaeology of production, linguistic analysis, visual representation and ethnographic research. During the past decades, the "imaginative" figure of ancient Egyptian material producers has moved from "workers" to "artisans" and, most recently, to "artists". In a search for a fuller understanding of the pragmatics of material production in past societies, and moving away from a series of modern preconceptions, this volume aims to analyse the mechanisms of material production in Egyp.
