Excellent- More about Social Network Analysis and Egyptology
This book explores Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a methodological approach in Egyptology, discussing its possibilities, limitations, and applications. It provides an introduction to SNA and network theory, evaluates the use of SNA in Egyptology, and explores a case study of the Abydos votive zone during the Middle Kingdom period. The book highlights the usefulness of SNA and network theory in complementing traditional research approaches in Egyptology, making it valuable for students and scholars in the field.

Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a methodological approach in the field of Egyptology, exploring its possibilities, limitations, and applications within the discipline. It is a sociological, graph theory-based approach used to investigate social structures created by patterns of relationships (ties or links) between actors (nodes). Scholars in other areas of ancient history have also utilised SNA.
The book first provides readers with basic information on the theoretical background of methods applied in SNA, as well as network theory and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) more generally. It discusses the history of SNA specifically within the discipline of Egyptology, evaluating the advantages and limitations of this approach when applied to different types of datasets, such as written sources and material records.
The author then explores a case study, examining the potential of network modelling on datasets from the Abydos votive zone during the Middle Kingdom period (c. 2040-1750 BC). The book highlights how SNA and network theory can be useful supplementary tools alongside more traditional research approaches in Egyptology for a more comprehensive understanding of social relations and interconnections in ancient contexts.
Social Network Analysis and Egyptology is suitable for students and scholars working on Egyptology who are interested in SNA methodology, as well as those working on Classical and Ancient Near Eastern archaeology and history. It also appeals to those interested in network research and theory more broadly. Colour versions of images in this book can be found in the Support Material: www.routledge.com/9781032599632.
