Meir. Die Nekropole im Mittleren Reich
Eine Archivgrabung
By (author) K. Vogt
German description: Bis heute sind zahlreiche Schatze der altagyptischen Kultur noch nicht geborgen. Sie liegen allerdings nicht nur unter agyptischem Wustensand begraben, sondern auch unter europaischem Archivstaub – dies gilt fur einen Grossteil der archaologischen Aufzeichnungen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Hierzu zahlen auch die Forschungsdokumentationen von Howard Carter (1874-1939) und Jean Cledat (1871-1943) zur Nekropole von Meir aus der Zeit des Mittleren Reiches, die heute in Oxford und Paris aufbewahrt werden. Sie werden durch die vorliegende ‘Archivgrabung’ erstmals publiziert, auf deren Grundlage eine Neubearbeitung dieser bedeutenden mittelagyptischen Nekropole unternommen wird. Das Buch prasentiert die Ergebnisse der neuesten Untersuchungen zu dem einst entdeckten und wieder verschutteten Bestattungsplatz des Mittleren Reiches, auf dem die Gaufursten des 14. oberagyptischen Gaus und ihre Entourage beigesetzt wurden. Vorgestellt wird der exemplarische Befund einer Felsgrabernekropole Mittelagyptens, der eine Rekonstruktion des Gesamtbildes dieser funeraren Landschaft und ihrer Bestattungsgemeinschaft ermoglicht. English summary: To this day, numerous treasures of ancient Egyptian culture have not yet been recovered. However, they are not only buried under Egyptian desert sand, but also under European archival dust – this applies to a large part of the archaeological documentation of the 19th and 20th centuries. Such is the case with the archaeological records of Howard Carter (1874-1939) and Jean Cledat (1871-1943) on the Middle Kingdom necropolis of Meir, which are now kept in Oxford and Paris. They are published for the first time by the present ‘archival digging’, on the basis of which a major re-investigation of this important site in Middle Egypt is undertaken. The book presents the results of the latest investigations on the once discovered and again buried Middle Kingdom necropolis, where the princes of the 14th Upper Egyptian nome and their entourage were buried. The exemplary features of a site with rock-cut tombs in Middle Egypt are presented, which allow a reconstruction of the overall picture of this funerary landscape and its community.
