It covers topics on the ancient world and the Near East. Pierce is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Bergen. Starting out as an expert in Egyptian languages, and of law in Greco-Roman Egypt, his professional interest has spanned from ancient Nubia and Coptic Egypt, to digital humanities and game theory. His contributions as scholar, teacher, supervisor and informal advisor to Norwegian studies in Egyptology, classics, archaeology, history, religion, and linguistics through more than five decades can hardly be overstated. 410 0$aArchaeopress archaeology. 606 $aHistory, Ancient 606 $aCivilization, Ancient 606 $aCivilization, Classical 615 0$aHistory, Ancient. 615 0$aCivilization, Ancient. 615 0$aCivilization, Classical. 676 $a938 702 $aSteiner$b Pa?l 702 $aTsakos$b Alexandros 702 $aSeland$b Eivind Heldaas 702 $aPierce$b Richard Holton 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793999803321 996 $aFrom the Fjords to the Nile$93694371 997 $aUNINA
