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. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vv. 65. 606 $aPottery$zEgypt$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$yOld Kingdom, ca. 2686-ca. 2181 B.C 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$yTo 332 B.C 607 $aEgypt$xAntiquities 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$yEarly Dynastic Period, ca. 3100-ca. 2686 B.C 615 0$aPottery$xHistory. 676 $a666/.30932 700 $aWarden$b Leslie Anne$0720010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790622103321 996 $aPottery and economy in Old Kingdom Egypt$91398488 997 $aUNINA
