What can an ancient Egyptian body do?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this commentary I reflect on how archaeological theory opens up new possibilities for thinking through ancient Egyptian body worlds. By bringing the papers in this special edition into comparison with one another, and into conversation with some contemporary concerns in archaeological thought, we can explore what ancient Egyptian bodies could do, how they could relate, and what they could become. These possibilities, in turn, create the potential for further comparison, conversation, and collaboration between Egyptology and the wider world of archaeological theory.
