Reader, C.D. 2006. Response to Vandecruys (2006). The Sphinx: dramatising data….and dating. – PalArch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 2, 1: 1-13
Posted by PalArch Editor (AV) in PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology on April 1st, 2006
Abstract In a previous paper (Vandecruys, 2006), the evidence presented by the current author for re–dating the Sphinx of Giza and a number of other structures present within the Giza necropolis has been reassessed. Following this re–assessment, Vandecruys has raised a number of objections to the current author’s thesis. The current paper provides a response to the criticism of Vandecruys and presents further arguments in support of Early Dynastic development at Giza, of which the Sphinx is considered to have formed an important element.

Turrittin, T.H. 2006. An annotated bibliography of the Piltdown Man forgery, 1953-2005. – PalArch’s Journal of archaeology of Northwest Europe 1, 1: 1-50
Posted by PalArch Editor (AV) in PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Northwest Europe on January 1st, 2006
Abstract Piltdown Man is the most notorious case of scientific forgery in the history of British archaeology and palaeoanthropology. Although the period from its introduction in 1912 until the exposure of the forgery in 1953 has been well-studied, the literature written after 1953 has received no such treatment. It is the purpose of this bibliography to place this growing body of literature in a descriptive context to aid researchers who are interested in the history of science and how we write about it. The scope of this bibliography is of predominantly English publications from 1953 to 2005, drawn from academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, broadcast media and a selection of World Wide Web pages. A separate section has been included to give a general overview of the debates over who might have perpetrated the forgery.

Vandecruys, G. 2006. The Sphinx: dramatising data … and dating. – PalArch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 1, 1: 1-13
Posted by PalArch Editor (AV) in PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology on January 1st, 2006
Abstract Geology and archaeology, carefully entwined, form the basis for deciding on a date of construction for the Great Sphinx at Giza. Over a decade after Robert Schoch’s controversial Pre–Dynastic proposal, Colin Reader takes up the debate again in the new millennium, and suggests a less extreme re–dating to the Early–Dynastic era. In tracing the data that forms the backbone for the ‘older Sphinx’ theories, I have found that a model of groundwater seepage leading to increased salt weathering rates explains the currently visible erosion morphology without requiring a change in the accepted chronology. On the archaeological side, several surrounding Giza monuments place an important limit on the possibility for an older Sphinx.

Posted by PalArch Editor (AV) in PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology on October 1st, 2005
Abstract This catalogue publishes 79 scarabs, scaraboids, and heart scarabs now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Each entry includes information on dating, dimensions, materials, description, and inscriptions, if any. Also included is a list of parallels of other scarabs or scaraboids with similar base decoration. The catalogue is divided according to the genre of the scarabs’ base decoration, of which there are seven: 1) King’s names, epithets, and images, 2) Apotropaic and divine iconography, 3) Personal titles and names, 4) Near Eastern motifs and adaptation, 5) Geometric and stylised patterns, 6) Heart Scarabs, and 7) Uninscribed scarabs.

Posted by PalArch Editor (AV) in PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology on October 1st, 2005
Abstract This case study of 79 unprovenanced scarabs and scaraboid amulets in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art addresses glyptics, miniaturisation, distribution, and reception. Meaning and function can only be examined by broadening our investigatory criteria outside of the norm (typological and categorical) to included semiotic, anthropological and psychological factors, allowing an understanding of a scarab as a powerful social tool, not only tied to personal religious beliefs, but also to state propaganda, as well as state cultic powers, i.e., the king and his cosmic, ritualistic role in ancient Egyptian cosmology and society. The multiple grammatical and symbolic meanings of the abstractions found on scarab bases seem purposely intended to fulfil multiple functions at one and the same time.

Introduction En 1998, on pouvait saluer la traduction–qui se voulait également une mise à jour–de l’Einführung de Erik Hornung. Cependant, au fil des (re)lectures, de nombreuses erreurs ou omissions sont apparues. tantôt des titres entiers apparaissent traduits, ainsi le Wörterbuch devenait le «Dictionnaire de la langue égyptienne» ou les Urkunden, les «Documents», tantôt l’absence du nom de l’auteur, un titre complet ou encore une année inexacte empêche de retrouver le livre référencé. Un comble quand on sait que cette Grande histoire de l’égyptologie s’adressait principalement à des étudiants, égyptologues débutants qui en arrivent parfois à lui préférer sa version originale en langue allemande, malheureusement vieillie!
Aussi, notre ambition n’est pas de remplacer ce manuel incontournable mais bien de lui apporter une mise à jour tellement utile quand on sait que le nombre de monographies égyptologiques est en constante augmentation, et que l’Annual Egyptological Bibliography accuse toujours un retard que la mise à jour disponible sur internet n’arrive pas encore à rattraper.
C’est pourquoi, le plan de cette Introduction adopte la structure de l’AEB, à un détail près. les publications relatives à l’histoire de l’égyptologie apparaissent en fin de volume, plutôt qu’en tête. Enfin, à l’heure du plein essor des publications électroniques, référencer les principaux documents PDF m’a semblé présenter un certain intérêt.
