Under the direction of Dr. Elmer Miller, Judy Lustig, a graduate student at Temple University will conduct doctoral dissertation research. She will focus on the First Intermediate and Middle Kingdom periods of ancient Egypt and examine the relationships among gender ideology and roles, kinship structure and beliefs and practices about ancestors. Because the database is so rich, it will enable her to ask specific kinds of questions which cannot be addressed in most archaeological situations. Primary sources include scenes, texts and statuary found in elite tombs as well as a variety of literary and religious texts concerning divine and human relationships and the values Egyptians attached to these. Cemetery, village and house plans will be utilized as additional sources of social information. This research is of anthropological significance for several reasons. It will shed light from a new perspective on the social processes which led to the growth of Egyptian civilization. Secondly, it is methodologically innovative. While an anthropological/archaeological approach stresses the search for the general rules which underlay human behavior and which are best revealed by their development over long periods of time, Egyptiologists tend to review their subject matter from a tighter more historical perspective. Therefore, anthropological archaeology and Egyptology constitute, unfortunately, two distinct disciplines with very little overlap and anthropologists rarely examine Egyptian data. Ms Lustig's research cuts across this divide since it will examine this Egyptian material with an anthropologist's eye and use this database to ask anthropological questions. Hopefully, it will mark a path which others will follow. This project will also assist in the training of an extremely promising young scientist.

在埃尔默米勒博士的指导下， 天普大学的一名学生将进行博士论文 research. 她将专注于第一中级和中级 王国时期的古埃及和研究的关系 在性别意识形态和角色、亲属结构和信仰中， 关于祖先的习俗 因为数据库非常丰富， 这将使她能够提出具体的问题， 在大多数考古学情况下都无法解决。 初级 资料来源包括在精英墓葬中发现的场景、文本和雕像 以及各种文学和宗教文本， 神与人的关系以及埃及人所重视的价值观 这些。 墓地，村庄和房屋计划将被用作 更多的社会信息来源。 这项研究对几个人来说具有人类学意义 原因 它将从一个新的角度揭示社会 这一过程导致了埃及文明的发展。 第二，方法创新。 虽然 人类学/考古学方法强调寻找 规范人类行为的一般规则， 最能说明问题的是它们在很长一段时间内的发展， 植物学家倾向于从更严格的角度来审视他们的主题。 更多历史视角 因此，人类学 不幸的是，考古学和考古学 不同的学科很少重叠，人类学家 很少研究埃及的数据。 勒斯蒂格的研究贯穿了 这一分歧，因为它将审查这一埃及材料与 人类学家的眼睛，并使用这个数据库， 问题. 希望它能为其他人指明一条道路 跟随. 该项目还将协助培训一名 有前途的年轻科学家
