Ein in der Vergangenheit nur wenig beachtetes, im Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology (London) unter der Inv.-Nr. UC14797 geführtes, fein reliefiertes, kleines Sandsteinfragment trägt die stilistische und ikonographische Handschrift der Regierungszeit König Amenhoteps III. Die stilkritische Analyse des Reliefs erbrachte besonders auffällige Übereinstimmungen mit den seltenen flach- und rundbildlichen Darstellungen des Königssohnes Thutmosis, dessen Vita bis dato nur lückenhaft rekonstruierbar ist. Das Relieffragment lässt sich vermutlich als Teil einer (Ritual-)Szene deuten, die im engen Zusammenhang mit der Inszenierung des ersten Sedfestes König Amenhoteps III. in Theben(-West) gesehen werden kann.

Egyptian Archaeology

Radiocarbon dating has become a standard dating method in archaeology almost all over the world. However, in the field of Egyptology and Near Eastern archaeology, the method is still not fully appreciated. Recent years have seen several major radiocarbon projects addressing Egyptian archaeology and chronology that have led to an intensified discussion regarding the application of radiocarbon dating within the field of Egyptology. This chapter reviews the contribution of radiocarbon dating to the discipline of Egyptology, discusses state-of-the-art applications and their impact on archaeological as well as chronological questions, and presents open questions that will be addressed in the years to come.

Excavation Methods

Site survey and excavation, within the subject of Egyptology, have historically aimed at the ‘discovery’ of monuments and objects. Gradually survey and excavation methodologies have shifted to a search for information. Current excavation and recording methodologies provide an understanding of site formation processes, while modern site survey methods provide alternatives to intrusive—and by their nature, destructive—excavations. Contemporary challenges concerning excavation methods in Egyptian archaeology include excessive focus on ‘discoveries’ rather than information, and a general dearth of archaeological context, which often neglected or poorly understood. A perceived lack of practical archaeological training has been partially addressed by field-schools.

Egyptian Archaeology

When a new field of view was opened to us some years ago by Schliemann's unearthing of Mykenae, there were no sufficient data already known to enable us to judge of the age of the civilization there presented to us. Since then the discovery of many other pre-Hellenic tombs in Greece, and the unexpected links which I have found in Egypt, afford some basis for an approximate chronology. We will therefore consider here (l) the comparisons between the objects found in the six tombs in the circle at Mykenae, and others found in Egypt, (2) the relation of these to other pre-Hellenic tombs, (3) the artistic and climatic data bearing on the Mykenaean civilization. I cannot profess these notes to be exhaustive; they are merely what occurs to a bystander who is more familiar with Egyptian archaeology; and many of the facts I am indebted to Mr. Ernest Gardner and Mr. Walter Leaf for pointing out to me, while examining the collections at Athens.Taking the graves in the order of their numbers (as adopted in the Museum and by Furtwaengler), we find in grave I. a group of glass beads which have been greatly changed by moisture: the original colour is seen where the outer scale is broken away, it was a clear prussian blue, decomposing to white on the surface.
