The Archaeology of Pharaonic Egypt: Society and Culture, 2700–1700 BC – PDF

Richard Bussmann examines ancient Egyptian society and culture during the time of the pyramids in this thought-provoking book. He explores various characteristics of early complex societies including urban areas, burial customs, temple ceremonies, kingship, and government. This book stands out because Bussmann uses an approach focused on individuals. He delves into interactions between ruling elites and local communities in provincial Egypt to reveal a fascinating dynamic between power and influence. Bussmann also offers new perspectives on cross-cultural discussions by examining material objects, gender roles, the culture of non-elite groups, and the importance of the human body. Bussmann’s research further illuminates social diversity and cultural unity through recent discoveries. By applying theoretical ideas from archaeology and anthropology to evidence interpretation, Bussmann clearly demonstrates how our comprehension of ancient Egyptian society can be deepened.
