Document Details : Title: Ostraca from Western Thebes Subtitle: Provenance and History of the Collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Columbia University Author(s): O'CONNELL, Elisabeth R. Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 43 Date: 2006 Pages: 113-137 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.43.0.3209390 Abstract : This paper is an attempt to localize published and unpublished Coptic ostraca within their archaeological contexts, in part taking up a challenge in recent work on texts and material culture (e.g., T. Gagos, J.E. Gates, and A.T. Wilburn, 'Material Culture and Texts of Graeco-Roman Egypt: Creating Context, Debating Meaning', BASP 42 [2005] 171-188). In its focus on material excavated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it is intended to complement the work of T.G. Wilfong on material excavated at Medinet Habu by the Oriental Institute ('Western Thebes in the Seventh and Eighth Centuries: A Bibliographic Survey of Jême and its Surroundings', BASP 26 [1989] 89-145). |
