The Egyptian economy at this period is frequently presented as state-centric or state-defined. This study forwards new methodology for a bottom-up approach to Egyptian economy, analyzing economic relationships through careful analysis of variation within the utilitarian wares which formed the basis of much economic exchange in the period. Beer jars and bread moulds, together with their archaeological, textual, and iconographic contexts, thus yield a framework for the economy which is fluid, agent-based, and defined by small scale, face-to-face relationships rather than the state.Culture and history of the ancient Near East ;v. 65.PotteryEgyptHistoryEgyptHistoryOld Kingdom, ca. 2686-ca. 2181 B.CEgyptPolitics and governmentTo 332 B.CEgyptAntiquitiesEgyptHistoryEarly Dynastic Period, ca. 3100-ca. 2686 B.CPotteryHistory.666/.30932Warden Leslie Anne720010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790622103321Pottery and economy in Old Kingdom Egypt1398488UNINA
