Ceramiques Egyptiennes Au Soudan Ancien: Importations, Imitations Et Influences (Cahiers de la Ceramique Egyptienne) (English and French Edition)

This volume combines the results of different researches undertaken on Egyptian and Mediterranean ceramics unearthed in Sudan as well as studies on the influences that such material had on the local Sudanese production from the Middle Kingdom up to the end of medieval times. Such topics foster reflections on themes such as exchanges between Egypt and Sudan and their fluctuations on the long term, and the transfer of know-how in the course of their common history. So far essentially addressed from an Egyptian point of view, these issues are here enriched by the contribution of recent excavations conducted in Nubia, on the outskirts of the fourth Cataract, in central Sudan and in the desert areas. This book presents a first synthesis of the material of still poorly documented regions and on a theme that will interest both the specialists of Egyptian and Nubian studies. La 4e de couv. indique : "Ce volume réunit différentes recherches entreprises sur les céramiques égyptiennes et méditerranéennes découvertes au Soudan, ainsi que sur l'influence que celles-ci ont eu sur les productions du Soudan ancien, depuis le Moyen Empire jusqu'à la fin de la période médiévale. Ces thématiques invitent naturellement à une réflexion sur la vitalité des échanges entre les royaumes égyptiens et soudanais, sur leur fluctuation sur une longue durée, et sur les processus de transferts de savoir-faire techniques au cours de leur histoire commune. Jusqu'à présent essentiellement abordées sous un angle égyptien, ces problématiques se trouvent ici enrichies de l'apport des fouilles récentes menées en Nubie, aux abords de la quatrième cataracte, au Soudan central et dans les zones désertiques. Cet ouvrage présente ainsi une première synthèse sur le mobilier de régions encore peu documentées et sur un thème qui intéressera à la fois les spécialistes des études égyptologiques et nubiennes" This volume brings together various researches on the Egyptian and Mediterranean ceramics discovered in Sudan, as well as on the influence they have had on local Sudanese production, from the Middle Kingdom until the end of the Medieval period. These themes naturally invite a reflection on the vitality of the exchanges between the Egyptian and Sudanese kingdoms, on their fluctuation over a long period, and on the transfer processes of technical know-how during their common history. So far essentially addressed from an Egyptian angle, these problems are here enriched by the contribution of recent excavations conducted in Nubia, on the outskirts of the fourth Cataract, in central Sudan and in the desert areas. This book thus presents a first synthesis on the material of regions still poorly documented and on a topic that will interest both specialists in Egyptology and Nubian studies
