Notes

Chapter 1: Rich women, poor women

1 Peet 1977, 172.

2 The calculation is based on Janssen’s (1975, 534) estimation of a workman of the Nineteenth Dynasty earning 11 deben per month, and a passage from the court document (Peet 1977, 172) saying the stolen piece had a value of 90 deben.

3 Schultz and Seidel 2005, 372.

4 Meskell 1999, 209–11.

Chapter 2: Changing worlds

1 Ward (1986, 59), for example, claims that the status of women varied little throughout Pharaonic history.

2 See Goodison and Morris 1998 for an introduction, with references, to the ‘goddess movement’.

3 For example, Lesko 1999, 16.

10 The interpretations of the Hierakonpolis bowl and seal impression are difficult. The Hierakonpolis bowl shows the bovine head with human eyes and mouth. On both the bowl and the seal impression, the bovine head is shown together with a bird. On the Hierakonpolis bowl, this is identified as the Saddle Bill or Jaribu stork, which Fischer (1962, 11) points out has the same phonetic value as that of the Bat deity, that is, the name of the Saddle Bill in ancient Egypt was ba, and thus, claims Fischer, implies that the bovine head is Bat. However, there is doubt surrounding the claim that the bovine is this deity. Fischer also states that the Bat fetish is rarely shown with the stork. Additionally, there is a possibility that the fragments come from separate bowls and have been incorrectly assumed to be one. Finally, as regards the Hierakonpolis bowl, the mouth of the Bat head has been totally reconstructed. Its features may have been less recognizably human in the original, and therefore less like the later known Bat deity. Burgess and Arkell 1958; Adams 1974, 5.

17 Petrie et al. (1913, 21–2, pl. II). See also Petrie and Griffith (1901, 24, pl. 6.22) for a similar bovine with curled horns identified as a bull.

18 See Fischer 1962, 8 for the stela and Chapter 8 in this volume for information on khener.

19 See Fischer 1962, 12; Gillam 1995, 215; and Wilkinson 1999, 283 for Fourth Dynasty references to Hathor. Hassan (1998, 106) cites identifications of Hathor in the Early Dynastic though these are based on over-interpretive translations. While the temple at Gebelein was dedicated in later times to Hathor, and the temple itself dates back to the Second Dynasty, we do not know if it was dedicated to Hathor in the Second Dynasty (Wilkinson 1999, 312).

20 The figurines are discussed in Ucko 1968, 188. Hendrickx (2002, 283–84) makes the interesting observation that a flint object from Naqada which is usually interpreted as a bull’s head could also be viewed as a woman with raised arms, though the ears of the head are difficult to understand as part of a female body. Hendrickx sees these as breasts, but if so, this is an unusual rendering for Early Dynastic Egypt.

27 Podzorski (1993) has suggested that in graves men tend to be associated with maces (although since only two maceheads were found in this study, the correlation may be insignificant) and Hassan and Smith’s (2002, 52) study of 426 graves from five cemeteries suggested that maces were as likely to be associated with women’s as with men’s graves.

38 The idea that these palettes are used for grinding eye make-up, as opposed to say general body paints, rests upon projecting ideas of the Dynastic Period back onto the Predynastic. However, to be sure of these results we really need to compare Predynastic mortuary evidence with later mortuary evidence, or we are not comparing like with like. Unfortunately, such studies have not yet been published. Richards (2005) has considered Middle Kingdom mortuary data and Meskell (1999, 2002) material from New Kingdom Deir el-Medina. However, Richards does not specifically analyse gender as information on this was only available less than 50 per cent of the time and the sexing of skeletons in the past was insecure (2005, 106). It would also be interesting to consider evidence of equality and gendered roles from physical anthropology, or the human remains themselves. Sexual division of labour and differential access to food resources leave their mark on skeletal remains. One would wonder if this changes through time.

40 For example, a figure from Qau- published by Adams (1992); and another from Naqada published in Petrie and Quibell (1896, pl. 59) cited in Hassan (1992, 313, fig. 2) possibly has grain but more clearly shows animals and water.

11 When the word is used of males in work details it is usually translated as ‘recruits’. While nfrw is often translated as ‘beautiful’, it also has connotations of newness and youthfulness.
