A study of the material culture of Egypt during the period of
Achaemenid Persian rule, c. 526-404 BCE Provides a clear overview
of the archaeological evidence for Achaemenid Egypt, including
temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, seals and coins
Demonstrates how different types of evidence, both textual and
archaeological - including material of uncertain provenance - can
be used to address a single historical question Offers critical
discussion of the dating criteria used by archaeologists for
Egyptian Late Period material Elucidates strategies used by the
Persians to establish and maintain control of Egypt Examines how
these strategies may have affected the lives of people living in
Egypt during the 27th Dynasty Creates a new explanatory model for
the introduction of coinage to ancient Egypt Previous studies have
characterised Achaemenid rule of Egypt either as ephemeral and weak
or oppressive and harsh. These characterisations, however, are
based on the perceived lack of evidence for this period, filtered
through ancient and modern preconceptions about the Persians. Henry
Colburn challenges these views by assembling and analyzing the
archaeological remains from this period, including temples, tombs,
irrigation works, statues, stelae, sealings, drinking vessels and
coins. By looking at the decisions made about material culture - by
Egyptians, Persians and others - it becomes possible to see both
how the Persians integrated Egypt into their empire and the full
range of experiences people had as a result.
