Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article is devoted to the study of ceramic vessels of the Old Kingdom Kingdom (c. 2707/2657–2216/2166, 3rd–6th Dynasties) found on the territory of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis. Its ruins are located under the town of Mit Rahina, where Kom Tuman, Kom Dafbabi, Tel Aziziya, Kom Rabia, Kom el Fakhri are situated. The long history of the city – since the Old Kingdom – has contributed to the formation of a cultural layer with various traces of human activity. Vessels of the Old Kingdom are identified among the materials of the archaeological excavations of the Centre for Egyptological Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences at Kom Tuman. They are considered as residual material and come from ceramic accumulations that date from the Late to Ptolemaic periods (approx. last quarter of the 6th to 1st c. BCE). Analysis of pottery publications has shown that vessels of the Old Kingdom were also found in other parts of Memphis. Basically it dates from the 3rd to 6th Dynasties. The range is represented by vessels used in everyday life. Several researchers have denied that this material could be used for dating Memphis to the Old Kingdom. They treated it as "background noise". However, there are pottery specialists who point out the importance of the appearance of this material in Memphis. Residual material is considered an indicator of human activity at the sites. It appeared in stratigraphic layers as a result of natural processes or human activity.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
