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. 410 0$aMainzer Historische Kulturwissenschaften 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aAncient Egypt 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aCultural Ecology 606 $aCultural Landscape 606 $aFluvial Dynamics 606 $aHistory 606 $aHuman ecology$xHistory 606 $aNatural Landscape 606 $aNature 606 $aNile 606 $aSociety 606 $aSocio-Economic History 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aAncient Egypt 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aCultural Ecology 606 $aCultural History 606 $aCultural Landscape 606 $aEnvironmental History 606 $aFluvial Dynamics 606 $aHistory 606 $aNatural Landscape 606 $aNature 606 $aNile 606 $aSociety 606 $aSocio-Economic History 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 610 $aHistory 610 $aEgyptology 610 $aFluvial Dynamics 610 $aSocio-Economic History 610 $aArchaeology 610 $aNile 610 $aAncient Egypt 610 $aCultural Ecology 610 $aSociety 610 $aNatural Landscape 610 $aCultural Landscape 610 $aNature 610 $aCultural History 610 $aEnvironmental History 610 $aAfrican History 610 $aFloodplain 610 $aKarnak 610 $aLevee 615 0$aAfrican History. 615 0$aAncient Egypt. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aCultural Ecology. 615 0$aCultural Landscape. 615 0$aFluvial Dynamics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aNatural Landscape. 615 0$aNature. 615 0$aNile. 615 0$aSociety. 615 0$aSocio-Economic History. 615 4$aAfrican History. 615 4$aAncient Egypt. 615 4$aArchaeology. 615 4$aCultural Ecology. 615 4$aCultural History. 615 4$aCultural Landscape. 615 4$aEnvironmental History. 615 4$aFluvial Dynamics. 615 4$aHistory. 615 4$aNatural Landscape. 615 4$aNature. 615 4$aNile. 615 4$aSociety. 615 4$aSocio-Economic History. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 676 $a940 700 $aWillems$b Harco$4edt$0169425 702 $aDahms$b Jan-Michael, 702 $aWillems$b Harco, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476935103321 996 $aThe Nile: Natural and Cultural Landscape in Egypt$93358406 997 $aUNINA
