Im Verlauf der deutsch-ägyptischen archäologischen und epigraphischen Feldarbeiten in Assiut/Mittelägypten wurden in den Jahren 2012-2014 im Grab des Regionalgouverneurs Djefai-Hapi I. (ca. 1900 v. Chr.) Deckenmalereien freigelegt, welche in ihrer Motivwahl, ihrem Arrangement und in ihrer Monumentalität neue Maßstäbe ägyptischen Designs zur Zeit des Mittleren Reiches setzten. Infolge starker Verschmutzungen blieben die Malereien in der modernen Forschung nahezu unbeachtet. In Zusammenarbeit mit ägyptischen Restauratoren erfolgte eine partielle Reinigung der Malereien. Vorliegender Band stellt die Deckenmalereien ausführlich vor und behandelt die Bedeutung und den Transfer einzelner Motive wie des gesamten Deckenmusters von Ägypten und dem ägäischen Raum während des Mittleren Reiches über die ägyptische Spätzeit bis in das London des 19. Jahrhunderts. Eine Analyse der verwendeten Farbpigmente, ein Index der Personennamen sowie zahlreiche Farbtafeln und Computerrekonstruktionen schließen den Band ab

Seit 2003 arbeitet das deutsch-ägyptische "Asyut Project" auf dem Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, dem Gräberberg der mittelägyptischen Stadt Assiut. Im Verlauf der Grabungen kam im Jahre 2010 eine Statue zutage, deren Typ und Stil regionalspezifische Charakteristika aufweisen. Sie kann einer Gruppe von elf weiteren, bislang bekannten Statuen der sogenannten Ersten Zwischenzeit und des Mittleren Reiches zugeordnet werden, welche in der Sekundärliteratur oftmals negativ beurteilt wurden. Jochem Kahl diskutiert in seiner Untersuchung Fundplätze, Datierung, Werkstätten, Nutzerkreis und Funktion dieser Statuen ebenso wie ihre Bewertung innerhalb der Ägyptologie. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Statuen sowohl am Ende der Ersten Zwischenzeit als auch im frühen Mittleren Reich in Gräbern verwendet wurden und ihre Herstellung nicht etwa staatspolitischen Gegebenheiten oder handwerklichen Unzulänglichkeiten unterlag. Eine reichhaltige Fotodokumentation aller derzeit zugänglichen Statuen dieser Gruppe rundet das Werk ab.

Pottery of Manqabad presents a catalogue of selected pottery from the monastic site of Manqabad (Asyut, Egypt), which has, since 2011, been the object of an ongoing study and conservation project at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale' (UNIOR). The ceramic material, dated to the Late Antique Period, derives mostly from the SCA warehouse of el-Ashmunein, where it was kept soon after its accidental discovery in 1965. About 40 items derive from the surface collection and survey conducted on the site during the last fieldwork season (2018). The typologies identified include the most relevant Byzantine classes and a particular link with production from the Middle Egypt region. Part of the field survey was devoted to the analysis of the pottery material still in situ, found in the Northern Sector of the site where a 230m long row of monastic housing units is located. Further investigations will hopefully support the hypothesis of a local pottery production area, which could be identified in a large 'dump' at the southern end of the site. More generally, the analysis of the ceramics from Manqabad has underlined the undoubtedly high cultural level of the local monastic community, which can be deduced also from the textual, architectural and wall depiction evidence from the site. Manqabad was largely unknown to the scientific community, but since the first season of work by the Italian-Egyptian project, it has emerged as an important venue for the religious development of Coptic culture between the second half of the Vth to the end of the VIII- early IXth century AD.

This study seeks to add to the understanding of the history of Asyut and of archaeofauna by examining the osteofaunal remains from the Tomb of the Dogs on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, with a particular focus on canids. Its objective is to shed more light on animals in ancient Egyptian society and religion, as well as on the various functions that Gebel Asyut al-gharbi (the western mountain of Asyut) fulfilled throughout the course of history.
