The inherent paradox of Egyptology is that the objective of its
study - people living in Egypt in Pharaonic times - are never the
direct object of its studies. Egyptology, as well as archaeology in
general, approach ancient lives through material (and sometimes
immaterial) remains. This Element explores how, through the
interplay of things and people - of non-human actants and human
actors - Pharaonic material culture is shaped. In turn, it asks
how, through this interplay, Pharaonic culture as an epistemic
entity is created: an epistemic entity which conserves and
transmits even the lives and deaths of ancient people. Drawing upon
aspects of Actor Network Theory, this Element introduces an
approach to see technique as the interaction of people and things,
and technology as the reflection of these networks of entanglement.
