This volume represents the papers given at a session of the 8th EAA
Conference held in Thessalonike in 2002. The session was based
around four themes: The links between populations of Egypt and
Europe (especially Hellas) in ancient times; the impact of the
advent of Alexander the Great, and the current excavations in
Alexandria; the political, economic and cultural contacts between
Europe, Hellas and Egypt especially during the LP, Helleno-Roman
and Early Christian (Coptic) Periods; and aspects of the history of
European Egyptology and those European museums holding Egyptian
antiquities today. The 9 papers are: (1) The Cretans in Egypt

Archaeological Museum in Athens: Searching for Forgotten Mummies

The study of astronomy in ancient societies is becoming ever more
popular among archaeologists as is reflected in this collection of
twelve papers been taken from a session held at the European
Association of Archaeologists Eighth Annual Meeting held in
Thessaloniki in 2002. It becomes clear that astronomy is considered
as an important motivation for the construction of many monuments
across the ancient world. Divided into three sections, the
contributions discuss archaeological, and astronomical, evidence
from ancient Egypt, prehistoric and Hellenic Europe and, in one
paper only, Mesoamerica. In addition to examining specific
monuments, sites and buildings, the papers discuss what these
reveal about the cosmology and technical ability of a range of
cultures. Supported throughout by astronomical diagrams.
These nine papers are taken from a session at the EAA conference
held in Esslington in 2001 which dealt with themes of interest to
both the Egyptological community and to European archaeologists
alike. The contributors deal with a range of subjects: recent
Russian and Hellenic investigations in Egypt; the history of
European Egyptology; political, cultural and economic contacts
between Europe and Egypt in Dynastic, Hellenic-Roman and early
Christian periods; links between ancient populations of Europe and
Egypt drawing on anthropological data.
