The article aims at questioning the Egyptological communal opinion that “in ancient Egypt, there was no artist in the proper sense of the word”, as stated in the Lexikon der Ägyptologie (III, 833). It starts with a brief historiography of this assumption before addressing the issue of the definition of art and artist, in general, and more specifically from an ancient Egyptian point of view. After a broad statistical overview of the numerous Egyptological data which allow us to trace members of the trades recognized as artistic by ancient Egyptians themselves, it analyses how one may study their social profile and perception in Antiquity, before concluding on the necessity to re-integrate the concept of artist in the discourse of Egyptology
The interdisciplinary analysis of Archaeobotanical materials from Ancient Egypt contributes to advances in humanities and life sciences. This dissertation discusses how botanical remains from different sites such as Nag ed Deir and Deir el Ballas broaden our knowledge of ancient Egyptian social structure, regional cultural variation and cross-cultural relationship with other cultures in Eastern Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. On the other hand, it contributes to life sciences as it presents oxygen stable isotope analysis on ancient plants and compare them to modern ones. This comes with significant result as it helps differentiate between local versus imported species to understand ancient trade network to serve social historians. In addition, it contributes to life sciences as it demonstrate the impact of climate change and damming along the river on altering ancient water and food system.
