This volume presents the proceedings of the 22nd Annual Egyptological
Colloquium held at the British Museum in 2013, augmented by additional
papers. It reflects an ongoing research focus, supported by new
fieldwork, on the relationship between Egypt and Nubia during the New
Kingdom (1550-1070 BC). Until recently characterised in terms that
mirror the ideology promulgated on ancient temple walls - the pharaonic
state enjoying complete political control and cultural dominance over
'wretched Kush' - the re-assessment of this relationship has
foregrounded models of cultural entanglement and hybridisation. The
papers reflect a variety of disciplinary approaches - archaeological,
epigraphic, architectural, environmental and bioarchaeological - which
are helping to provide a more nuanced understanding of what it was like
to live in colonial Kush during the later second millennium BC.
