Dust, Demons and Pots: Studies in Honour of Colin A. Hope

This volume brings together fifty-four studies on ancient Egypt and its

interconnections with neighbouring regions to celebrate the career of

Colin Hope. Presented by friends, colleagues and former students,

contributions to the volume offer original research and fieldwork

discoveries informed by new interpretations and insights on contemporary

issues in Egyptology. In recognition of Colin Hope’s extensive research

interests, the subjects of discussion are wide-ranging in their

exploration of the art, archaeology, language and literature of Egypt

from prehistory to the pharaonic period, the Roman period and later.

Also included are studies on the reception of Egyptology and discussions

on museum collections and material conservation. A feature of the volume

is the range of studies that come from contexts within the Nile Valley

proper and the desert regions beyond. Together, the contrasting

perspectives reflect important directions in an ever-expanding

discipline and in the long-standing contributions made to it by Colin

Hope.
