| Summary: | Today, the work of the French Archaeologist E. AMÉLINEAU is very seldom quoted and almost forgotten, while the reports and results of his successor in Abydos, W. M. F. PETRIE are given a much higher importance. This has of course historical reasons, but it is worthwhile to concern oneself with the oeuvre of this French scholar. At least a closer look in his publication shows how careful and passionate he worked at Abydos. In 1904, E. AMÉLINEAU sold most of the objects found in Abydos in Paris, from which a certain amount came to the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in 1907. So far, most of these objects are published by A. SCHARFF in his famous catalogue in 1929 and 1931 – but he did not re-contextualise the objects with the documentation published by E. AMÉLINEAU. Furthermore, A. SCHARFF dated most of the objects to the 1st dynasty. In the present article we republish a small convolute of stone vessels which were found by E. AMÉLINEAU in several depositions in the tomb of king Khasekhemuy (end of the 2nd dynasty) and which show that even in Early Dynastic times, the re-use of ancient recipients and the imitation of ancient forms already played an important role – possibly also in the sense of a real consciousness of tradition in connection with the rulers and material culture of the 1st dynasty. |
