This selection of 23 papers from the 15th annual Current Research
in Egyptology symposium addreses the interregional and
interdisciplinary theme of'Ancient Egypt in a Global World'. This
theme works on a number of levels highlighting the current global
nature of Egyptological research and it places ancient Egypt in the
wider ancient world. The first section presents the results of
recent excavations, including in the western Valley of the Kings
and analysis of the structures, construction techniques, food
production and consumption remains at Tell Timai (Thmuis) in the
Delta. Part II focuses on the cross-cultural theme with papers
including discussions on the presence in India of terracotta
figurines from Roman Egypt; the ancient Egyptian influence of
Aegean lion-headed divinities; Libyan influence in New Kingdom and
Third Intermediate Period Egyptian administration and the
identifcation of ancient Egyptian finds from the British
countryside reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The third
part of the book includes current research undertaken across the
world of Egyptology, including analysis of late Roman crocodile
mummies though non-invasive radiographic imaging techniques and the
study of infant jar-burials in ancient Egypt and Sudan to identify
differences in regional socio-economic contexts and the interaction
between people and local resources.
