After having been held in the UK for the past 10 years, the 11th
edition of the annual Current Research in Egyptology (CRE) graduate
conference was held at Leiden University, The Netherlands in
January 2010. As always, the main aim of the conference was to
provide graduate and postgraduate students of Egyptology and
Egyptian archaeology with the opportunity to present their
research. The proceedings of this year's conference cover a wide
range of topics from the Predynastic Period to modern Egypt. The
papers reflect a similar variety in areas of research and
scientific approach, for example, by applying the linguistic
prototype theory to ancient Egyptian texts or by using an
ethnoarchaeological approach for the study of modern mud-brick
architecture. The topics covered include Egyptian religion, ranging
from the Coffin Texts to the decoration of temple walls in
Ptolemaic times, as well as sociological issues in the Middle and
New Kingdom. Other contributions focus on the study of the
chronology of the Middle Kingdom with the help of lunar ephemerides
or well-stratified radiocarbon data versus pottery data. In
summary, Proceedings of Current Research in Egyptology XI includes
19 selected papers on artefact studies, burial practices and
provisioning for the afterlife, economy and sociology, history and
chronological studies, linguistics, philology and religion.
