Abstract
Editorial
BMSAES 13 contains 11 papers submitted for publication in the Proceedings of the Third International Colloquium on Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt, which was held at the British Museum from 27 July to 1 August 2008.
This selection from the more than 40 papers that will ultimately appear in the full proceedings “Egypt at its Origins 3” (Peeters’ Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta series), touches on a wide range of topics and recent discoveries pertaining to this formative period is Egyptian history.
Potmarks were the subject of a special workshop during the conference and particular emphasis has been placed on them here in order to make these studies available as quickly as possible in the hope of generating further discussion of and interest in these still enigmatic markings. For further information please visit www.potmark-Egypt.com
In addition to prompt distribution, the 11 papers published herein also benefit from BMSAES’s online format, which has enabled us to reproduce numerous, high-quality images in full colour.
In particular, this format has made it possible to include the stunning photographs of the finds from Tell el-Farkha illustrating the contribution by Krzysztof Ciałowicz who delivered the 2008 Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation Distinguished Lecture in Egyptology.
The papers have been edited by Renée Friedman and Liam McNamara, both for this online publication and the eventual hard copy publication. Elisabeth O’Connell has edited the papers to conform to BMSAES style guidelines.
The full conference program and abstracts of papers presented are available at: www.origins3.org.uk/index.html
