Egyptologists frequently focus on the textual and iconographic record, whereas archaeologists and earth scientists approach the issue from the perspective of natural sciences. The contributions in this volume bridge this gap by analyzing the river both as a natural and as a cultural phenomenon. Adopting an approach of cultural ecology, it addresses issues like ancient land use, administration and taxation, irrigation, and religious concepts.Mainzer Historische Kulturwissenschaften African HistoryAncient EgyptArchaeologyCivilizationHistoryCultural EcologyCultural LandscapeFluvial DynamicsHistoryHuman ecologyHistoryNatural LandscapeNatureNileSocietySocio-Economic HistoryAfrican HistoryAncient EgyptArchaeologyCultural EcologyCultural HistoryCultural LandscapeEnvironmental HistoryFluvial DynamicsHistoryNatural LandscapeNatureNileSocietySocio-Economic HistoryHISTORY / GeneralbisacshHistoryEgyptologyFluvial DynamicsSocio-Economic HistoryArchaeologyNileAncient EgyptCultural EcologySocietyNatural LandscapeCultural LandscapeNatureCultural HistoryEnvironmental HistoryAfrican HistoryFloodplainKarnakLeveeAfrican History.Ancient Egypt.Archaeology.CivilizationHistory.Cultural Ecology.Cultural Landscape.Fluvial Dynamics.History.Human ecologyHistory.Natural Landscape.Nature.Nile.Society.Socio-Economic History.African History.Ancient Egypt.Archaeology.Cultural Ecology.Cultural History.Cultural Landscape.Environmental History.Fluvial Dynamics.History.Natural Landscape.Nature.Nile.Society.Socio-Economic History.HISTORY / General.940Willems Harcoedt169425Dahms Jan-Michael, Willems Harco, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996308842903316The Nile: Natural and Cultural Landscape in Egypt3358406UNISA
