Abstract

This paper exploits the rich but little-studied corpus of archaeological textiles found in modern Sudan and Nubia and dated to the Meroitic and Postmeroitic periods (c.350 BCE–550 CE). It allies current approaches developed in the field of mortuary archaeology with an in-depth analysis of textile artefacts discovered in situ in the graves of the ancient Sudanese people. Going beyond the simple description of textile items and their potential place in the tomb, the concept of funerary chaîne opératoire is used to trace and interpret textile gestures around the deceased. Through many examples and the detailed case study of an ‘archer’ grave from Gebel Adda (Lower Nubia), this article aims at demonstrating the active and important role of textiles in the transformation of the dead, from an inert body to a revered ancestor.

葬仪中的纺织品。来自梅罗蒂特和后梅罗蒂特时期苏丹和努比亚（约公元前 350 年至公元前 550 年）的视角

本文利用了在现代苏丹和努比亚发现的丰富但鲜有研究的考古纺织品，这些纺织品可追溯到梅罗伊特和后梅罗伊特时期（约公元前 350 年至公元前 550 年）。它结合了目前在殡葬考古学领域开发的方法，对在古苏丹人坟墓中就地发现的纺织品进行了深入分析。除了对纺织品及其在墓葬中的潜在位置进行简单的描述外，还使用了 "殡葬行动路线 "的概念来追踪和解释死者身边的纺织品姿态。本文通过大量实例和对 Gebel Adda（下努比亚）一座 "弓箭手 "坟墓的详细案例研究，旨在展示纺织品在死者从惰性尸体转变为受人尊敬的祖先的过程中所发挥的积极而重要的作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
