In this book, Nadine Moeller challenges prevailing views on Egypt's
non-urban past and argues for Egypt as an early urban society. She
traces the emergence of urban features during the Predynastic
period up to the disintegration of the powerful Middle Kingdom
state (c.3500-1650 BC). This book offers a synthesis of the
archaeological data that sheds light on the different facets of
urbanism in ancient Egypt. Drawing on evidence from recent
excavations as well as a vast body of archaeological data, this
book explores the changing settlement patterns by contrasting
periods of strong political control against those of
decentralization. It also discusses households and the layout of
domestic architecture, which are key elements for understanding how
society functioned and evolved over time. Moeller reveals what
settlement patterns can tell us about the formation of complex
society and the role of the state in urban development in ancient
Egypt.
