Archaeological Connexions Between Lyres, Poetry and Power in Barbarian Europe

Wenngleich Musik heutzutage überwiegend der Entspannung dient, kann sie auch Rituale begleiten und Hinweise auf soziale und politische Zugehörigkeiten liefern. Musizierende können in die unmittelbare Nähe zur politischen Führung geraten und so politischen Absichten dienen. Neue Instrumentenfunde in Gräbern des 5. bis 8. Jhd. aus dem nördlichen und atlantischen Europa lassen auf die politische Bedeutung antiker Leiermusik schließen. Während in historischen Berichten über Sänger, ihre politischen Verbindungen und diplo-matischen Handlungen alte Lieder mit Politik in Verbindung gebracht werden, fungieren archäologische Funde als materielle Repräsentanten politischer agency. Könnten analog da-zu recht ähnliche, aus der frühen Eisenzeit stammende Funde als Ausdruck politischen Handelns in schriftlosem Umfeld verstanden werden

Pure ones: the WˁB AND WˁBT from the old Kingdom to the end of the middle kingdom

This thesis explores the development of the wˁb-title from the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. During the Old Kingdom, 59% of title-holders are linked to the royal mortuary cult, many of whom were promoted to the upper-ranking office of ḥm-nṯr. Of all of the known title-holders of the Old Kingdom, 46% were promoted to ḥm-nṯr. Although some wˁb.w continue to be linked to the royal mortuary cult in the Middle Kingdom, the majority of title-holders are now linked to the cult of a deity. Few wˁb-priests were promoted to (or served within) other priestly grades, e.g. ḥm-nṯr, ḥm-k3, ẖry-ḥbt, or s(t)m-priest. There is, however, a remarkable increase (4%) in the number of female title-holders during the Middle Kingdom. An investigation into issues of heredity and transfer of office revealed that the most common filial relationships for all historical periods were father-and-son and brother-and-brother. The information compiled within this study provides insight into the role of the wˁb in cult and society from the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. A chronological index, containing the names and title-strings of 524 men and women that held this title from the 3rd Dynasty to the 13th Dynasty concludes this study
