| Summary: | The Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Charles University has since the start of the third millennium established the tradition of organising on a regular basis a platform for scholars, active in the pyramid fields and the cemeteries of the Memphite region (Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur and Giza in particular). The present volume, the fifth in the series, contains 30 contributions by 35 scholars, reflecting the widespread, often multidisciplinary interest of researchers into a wide variety of different topics related to the Memphite necropoleis. Individual contributions include some of the latest results of archaeological explorations, new interpretations of archaeological evidence within the framework of social and environmental development and climate change, new approaches to long-known texts and inscriptions, the application of modern computer-based analyses of the society of the day, as well as newly understood historical, social and landscape connotations of some sites and monuments |
