{"pk":4023,"title":"El-Mo’alla to El-Deir","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The 3rd nome of Upper Egypt possessed several regional power centers during Pharaonic history, including its nome capital (Nekhen/Elkab) in the south and the urban centers of Hefat and Gebelein near the northern border of the nome. Several important sites occupy the area between el-Moalla and el-Deir, including necropolises, settlement areas, and an ancient road leading into the Eastern Desert. Textual evidence, particularly the autobiography of Ankhtifi, combined with archaeological material enables a preliminary reconstruction of the political history, social character, and cult topography of this regional unit.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"necropolis"},{"word":"settlement"},{"word":"nome"},{"word":"regional center"},{"word":"Near Eastern Languages and Societies"}],"section":"Geography","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4pc0w4hg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Colleen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Manassa","name_suffix":"","institution":"Yale University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2009-03-01T00:00:00-08:00","date_accepted":"2009-03-01T00:00:00-08:00","date_published":"2011-10-27T00:00:00-07:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/nelc_uee/article/4023/galley/2600/download/"}]}
