The Archaeology of Early Egypt: Social Transformations in North-East Africa 10,000 to 2650 BC

The Archaeology of Early Egypt: Social Transformations in North-East Africa 10,000 to 2650 BC

David Wengrow
4.1/5 ( ratings)
In this authoritative survey of the archaeology of early Egypt, David Wengrow offers a new interpretation of the emergence of farming economies and the dynastic state, c.10,000 to 2,650 BC. Exploring key themes such as the nature of state power, kingship and the inception of writing, Wengrow illuminates prehistoric social development along the Nile through comparison with neighboring regions. Employing rich empirical data and engaging critically with anthropological theory and the history of archaeological thought, Wengrow's work challenges the current theoretical isolation of Egyptian prehistory.
