Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
El-Dissouky explores what is known about Elephantine using epigraphic sources. He examines when and how it become part of Egypt, when the fortress was built, how it was administered in the begining of the Old Kingdom versus the Middle Kingdom, what its various names mean, and its importance to foreign trade during the Old Kingdom. He presents the biographical information of the expedition leaders and other officials buried in the Qubbet el-Hawa cemetery across from Elephantine. These officials were mainly expeditions leaders and not monarchs. Once trading expeditions became less important and the officials did not have to spend 7-8 months traveling on the expeditions, the officials were able to take up the administrative duties of the nome.
