A Palaeographical Study of Egyptian Inscriptions in Serabit el-Khadim during the Middle and New Kingdoms

Sherouk`s project centered upon inscriptions, their scribes, type of material, methods and tools used to produce them. The study of Serabit el-Khadim Palaeography will assist in identifying the role of scribes in shaping the written texts and some elements of visual culture and the anthropology of writing in ancient Egypt. The inscriptions are the angle that leads us to the sociocultural and sociolinguistic background of people and their historical writing systems inside a crucial contact area near the border between Egypt and the Levant in the 2nd millennium BC. The study of these inscriptions contributes to preserve the heritage of ancestors. Therefore, this will fit with the program of ALT and her over all research interest in linguistics and philology of the Ancient Egyptian language.
