Hierakonpolis website redesign | Archaeology News | Scoop.it
From www.hierakonpolis-online.org - January 2, 5:26 AM

The website has been totally redesigned and contains a lot of new information about the site of Hierakonpolis and its place in the predynastic history of Egypt, as well as later times.

Discover the results of the recent fieldwork of the Hierakonpolis Expedition and the history of the site, or browse the comprehensive bibliography of Hierakonpolis! You even have a chance to become a Friend of Nekhen and help support the work of the Expedition in rediscovering, recording and conserving one of the most important sites in predynastic Egypt.

David Connolly's insight:

Hierakonpolis, the City of the Hawk, ancient Egyptian Nekhen, is one of the most important archaeological sites for understanding the foundations of ancient Egyptian society.

Where Did Curry Come From?

Where Did Curry Come From? | Archaeology News | Scoop.it
From www.slate.com - January 30, 1:50 AM
What is curry? Today, the word describes a bewildering number of spicy vegetable and meat stews from places as far-flung as the Indian subcontinent, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean Islands.

 

But the original curry predates Europeans’ presence in India by about 4,000 years. Villagers living at the height of the Indus civilization used three key curry ingredients—ginger, garlic, and turmeric—in their cooking. This proto-curry, in fact, was eaten long before Arab, Chinese, Indian, and European traders plied the oceans in the past thousand years.
