Overview

"English summary: Since 2003, the German-Egyptian ""Asyut Project"" has been working on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, the burial ground in the central Egyptian city of Asyut. During the course of these excavations, a statue was unearthed in 2010, which in terms of its type and style has characteristics specific to the region. It belongs to a group of eleven other, previously known statues of the so-called First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom, which have often been negatively evaluated in secondary literature. In this investigation, Jochem Kahl discusses sites, dating, workshops, users and the function of these statues, as well as how they are assessed within the field of Egyptology. He thereby demonstrates that the statues were placed in tombs both at the end of the First Intermediate Period and in the early Middle Kingdom and that their production was not subject to political conditions or technical shortcomings. The work is completed by comprehensive photographic documentation of all of the statues currently accessible within this group. German description: Seit 2003 arbeitet das deutsch-agyptische ""Asyut Project"" auf dem Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, dem Graberberg der mittelagyptischen Stadt Assiut. Im Verlauf der Grabungen kam im Jahre 2010 eine Statue zutage, deren Typ und Stil regionalspezifische Charakteristika aufweisen. Sie kann einer Gruppe von elf weiteren, bislang bekannten Statuen der sogenannten Ersten Zwischenzeit und des Mittleren Reiches zugeordnet werden, welche in der Sekundarliteratur oftmals negativ beurteilt wurden. Jochem Kahl diskutiert in seiner Untersuchung Fundplatze, Datierung, Werkstatten, Nutzerkreis und Funktion dieser Statuen ebenso wie ihre Bewertung innerhalb der Agyptologie. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Statuen sowohl am Ende der Ersten Zwischenzeit als auch im fruhen Mittleren Reich in Grabern verwendet wurden und ihre Herstellung nicht etwa staatspolitischen Gegebenheiten oder handwerklichen Unzulanglichkeiten unterlag. Eine reichhaltige Fotodokumentation aller derzeit zuganglichen Statuen dieser Gruppe rundet das Werk ab."
