This book examines the use of images of violence prior to the New Kingdom. By comparing violent images from a variety of other times and cultures the book asks that we consider how Egyptian imagery was related to Egyptian violence, and why people create pictures of violence and place them where they do, and how such images communicate what to whom.
Laurel Bestock is an Associate Professor of Archaeology and Egyptology at Brown University (USA). She received her PhD in Egyptian Archaeology and Art from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University (USA). She directs excavations in Egypt at the site of Abydos, where she investigates early kingship. In the Sudan, she co-directs excavations at the Egyptian fortress of Uronarti, seeking to understand lifestyles and cultural interactions in a colonial outpost from nearly 4000 years ago. For her next project, she hopes to work on a book focused on food and culture at Uronarti, both anciently and in the context of a modern excavation team camping in tents along the Nile.
