Abstract: Lives of the ordinary ancient Egyptians can be obscure to us today. Most of what is known about their lives is based on the elite material culture. It is only by looking closely and examining the small and fragmented finds that one might gain an insight into the daily life of the average ancient Egyptian. This thesis presents a study of the drilling tools and stone vessel fragments of Heit el-Ghurab, a settlement site located at the southeastern section of the Giza Plateau, dating to the reigns of Kings Khafre and Menkaure. The site housed the pyramid builders and the administrators working on the construction of the pyramids of both kings. The finds are compared with similar parallels of the same time periods. The location of where the drilling tools and vessel fragments were located on site help in understanding the functions of the different buildings of the ancient site. The debitage of the manufacturing of stone vessels indicates possible productions of other artifacts. By thoroughly studying the tools and the different classes and materials of the stone vessels, one could better understand the reason for the existence of such a fine craft in a pyramid builders' settlement site, while gaining knowledge about the lives of the average ancient Egyptians.

This book examines the fundamental evidence for many different aspects of change and evolution in ancient Egyptian technology. It includes discussion of the wider cognitive and social contexts, such as the Egyptian propensity for mental creativity and innovation, and the pace of change in Egypt in comparison with other African, Mediterranean and Near Eastern states. This book draws not only on traditional archaeological and textual sources but also on the results of scientific analyses of ancient materials and on experimental and ethno-archaeological information. Case-studies analyse those aspects of Egyptian society that made it either predisposed or actively opposed to certain types of conservatism or innovation in material culture, such as the techniques of stone-working, medicine, mummification and monumental construction. The book also includes detailed discussion of the ways in which the practice and development of Egyptian technology interrelated with Late Bronze Age urban society as a whole, using the city at Amarna as a case-study.

During 2009, the Giza Plateau Mapping Project carried out excavations at two sites as part of its ongoing research program: 1) the settlement connected to the Khentkawes Monument on the Giza Plateau and 2) the nearby town, Heit el-Ghurab (aka Lost City of the Pyramids). The 2009 work yielded some important discoveries such as evidence that the 4th Dynasty Khentkawes Town was in fact occupied into the 5th Dynasty with reoccupation later, probably in the 6th Dynasty. The major discovery was the remains of a previously unknown valley complex off the east end of the Khentkawes Town made up of corridors, ramps, and stairs descending into a depression that may prove to be a harbor. This collection of papers by archaeologists and specialists details the results of the excavations and additional work carried out in 2009. The book is well illustrated with abundant maps and photographs, along with large foldout maps and isometric drawings.
