This volume presents the proceedings of the 22nd Annual Egyptological

Colloquium held at the British Museum in 2013, augmented by additional

papers. It reflects an ongoing research focus, supported by new

fieldwork, on the relationship between Egypt and Nubia during the New

Kingdom (1550-1070 BC). Until recently characterised in terms that

mirror the ideology promulgated on ancient temple walls - the pharaonic

state enjoying complete political control and cultural dominance over

'wretched Kush' - the re-assessment of this relationship has

foregrounded models of cultural entanglement and hybridisation. The

papers reflect a variety of disciplinary approaches - archaeological,

epigraphic, architectural, environmental and bioarchaeological - which

are helping to provide a more nuanced understanding of what it was like

to live in colonial Kush during the later second millennium BC.
