Epigraphic Survey Giza

چکیده
Since 1988 we have been excavating at Giza, 350 m south of the Great Sphinx and south of the gigantic stone Heit el-Ghurob ("Wall of the Crow"). The concession, 650 m north-south and 250 m east-west (16 ha), extends from the bottom of the slope where Zahi Hawass has excavated the "workers' cemetery" in recent years, to the modern paved road and houses of Nazlet es-Semman and Kafr Gebel. A substantial amount of sand accumulated over our site not long after the Fourth Dynasty and certainly well before the end of the Old Kingdom. Substantial deposits of sand blown over Old Kingdom surfaces have been noted elsewhere at Giza as well as other Old Kingdom sites at Saqqara and Abusir. Over the years, as the horse and camel stables have proliferated in the communities near the Giza Plateau, the incremental daily action of boys with pack donkeys has turned over much of the sand on our site. They take clean sand to the stables, where it is used to clean the floor, and afterwards return the sand to the site (until this season) with its new inclusions. In order to reach the third-millennium deposits in our small excavation squares, we have

متن کاملCIDOC CRM and Epigraphy: a Hermeneutic Challenge
This paper identifies the main concepts involved in the study of epigraphy and proposes the use of CIDOC CRM to encode epigraphic concepts and to model the scientific process of investigation related to the study of epigraphy. After analysing the existing CIDOC CRM entities and those provided by the CRMsci and CRMarchaeo extensions, we introduce more specific epigraphic classes to be used as th...
متن کاملApoplastic Protein Pattern, Hydrolases and Peroxidase Activity of Vicia faba Cultivars as Influenced by Drought
Effect of drought on apoplastic protein content, protein pattern, enzymic activiteis and minieral concentration of Vicia faba cv Giza 40 (relatively drought-tolerant) and Vicia faba cv Giza 667 (relatively drought-sensitive) was studied. While drought decreased Na, K, Ca concentration in leaf apoplast of Giza 40, it increased Na and Ca concentraion in case of Giza 667. Giza 40 has K:Na ratio hi...
