Apres la traduction, le commentaire philologique et la transcription hieroglyphique de tous les textes connus (papyrus et ostraca) sont abordes successivement les differents aspects du genre (analyses modale, thematique et formelle) ainsi que les liens qu&amp;#39;entretient cette poesie avec d&amp;#39;autres genres litteraires. Cette etude revele l&amp;#39;existence de procedes conscients d&amp;#39;elaboration (la structure metrique notamment), vraisemblablement mis en oeuvre par l&amp;#39;elite intellectuelle d&amp;#39;une micro-societe cultivee.

While the elevated status of the male ruler is regarded as self-evident, the importance of the phenomenon of royal women tends to raise basic questions related to their in uence in what we perceive as naturally male areas of authority. The juxtaposition of women and power requires explication. This is a curious comment on our own times, since, as we are discovering, women were integrated into the ideological structure of the state throughout the history of the ancient Near East. In reviewing the material related to ancient Egyptian queenship, it is of interest to re ect upon the sources of our documentation. It comes to us from the speci cally male perspective of the priestly scribal establishment and expresses the ideological norms of that group. Consequently, the role allotted the royal women in relationship to the authority of the kingship should be seen as the result of a male discourse on the subject of the "Powerful Other", given the guise of Woman as a life-producing force. What I would like to do in this paper is to outline a view of ancient Egyptian queenship that concentrates on delineating the nature of that powerful other. This view is removed from the question of individual prestige and historical events. It is my hypothesis that the status of the royal women was not generated by rights of inheritance or individual

Leur existence est confirmee par la decouverte de deux sarcophages, chacun identifie par son inscription comme appartenant a la Grande epouse du roi, Ahhotep. Clarification de leur identite. Les sources existantes indiquent clairement qu'il s'agit des epouses royales de Kamose et de TaoII. La seconde fut la mere du premier roi de la XVIIIdynastie, Nebpehtyre Amosis.

In keeping with the "political stance of WAC," the conference organizers explicitly sought papers emphasizing how IT can promote communication and, ultimately, the democratization of archaeological knowledge (p. xxii). Reilly and Rahtz (Chapter 1) give an overview of how archaeologists use IT and discuss the impact of data bases, networks, imaging, and other technologies on archaeological practice. They worry that the rapid pace of technological innovation may deepen the gulf between IT haves and have nots (p. 20). Chapters 2-7, which survey computer use in several world regions, document the dramatic contrasts in access to IT that already exist. Some may find the overall pattern a little surprising: southern and eastern African archaeologists (Sinclair et al., Karega-Munene) seem to have better access to IT than their counterparts in eastern Europe (Marciniak and Raczkowski, Suhajda) and the (former) Soviet Union (Trifonov and Dolukhanov). Perhaps the situation has changed since 1990, when "no more than 15 computers [were] used within archaeology" in the USSR (p. 66). Oikawa discusses Japanese site data bases, with particular emphasis on imaging capabilities integral to geographic information systems (GIS); for example, a search of a data base with image-retrieval capabilities would yield a distribution map rather than just a list of sites. Wilcock advocates data standardization but seems skeptical of the prospects for imposing it on archaeologists. Chapters 9-12, grouped together under "visualization," deal with different approaches to computergraphical presentation of archaeological data. Lock and Harris discuss the analysis of spatial data in archaeology and describe the dramatically enhanced potential for visualizing spatial data made possible by GIS. This chapter is a good overview, but, in light of the growing importance of GIS in archaeology around the world (attested in this volume by the chapters on Africa and Japan), more example applications of GIS would have been welcome either in this chapter or elsewhere in the volume. Fletcher and Spicer provide examples of the stunning graphics and analytical possibilities of surface modeling applied to microtopographic survey data. Wood and Chapman provide equally stunning illustrations of three-dimensional solid and surface models of ruined buildings. They note that popular commercial software now offers both solidand surface-modeling capabilities. Reilly discusses additional examples of 3-D modeling, noting the convergence of solid modeling and hypertext data bases for simultaneously communicating raw data together with the archaeologist's reconstruction. He also delves into the future of "virtual archaeology" and shows how 3-D models could be used for true three-dimensional recording of archaeological contexts. Chapters 13-18, grouped under "analysis," are a mixed bag of conventional and speculative applications of computerized analysis. Koetje considers the problem of how to recognize surfaces in excavations, a necessary precursor to intrasite spatial analysis. He shows that K-means cluster analysis, used appropriately, can recover vertical spatial clusters (layers). Sinclair and Troy use correspondence analysis (a simultaneous Rand Q-mode eigenvector technique appropriate for categorical data) to seriate Nubian contexts (sites and burial lots) together with the tabulated attributes. These authors also explore spatial patterns in scores on the first two correspondence axes within a lower Nubian cemetery. Dallas constructs a formal approach to description and analysis of Attic grave stelae, some of which he implements in Prolog. Biskowski considers how expert systems might be used within archaeological simulation experiments to make simulated prehistoric decision makers act more human. Lagrange and Vitali also describe an expert system, but here it substitutes for the archaeologist trying to figure out the provenance implications of chemical, mineralogical, typological, and contextual data on pottery. In Stutt and Shennan's paper, the expert system, WORSAAE, serves yet another role, trying to find the flaws in the archaeologist's interpretations and arguments, thus leading to better ones. Of these expert systems applications, all but the trivial (Lagrange and Vitali's) remained incompletely realized at publication.
