“…Politically, much of northern Africa has been relatively unstable in post-Colonial times and recent events there invite reflection on the relationship of the antiquities trade to social inequality and injustice (Harsch 2006;Krishnan et al, 2016), in particular whether some of these artefacts may even be conflict antiquities (Stevenson 2016;Hardy 2017). The Western Sahara is still a contested region, there has been recent conflict and civil war in Algeria (1991), Libya (2014-present), Sudan (1983and 2003 and Mali (2012Mali ( -2019.…”

“…In our efforts to explore the capabilities of digital Egyptology and mediate the drawbacks, it is important to explicitly address ethical concerns. With the recent emphasis on decolonizing museums and scholarship, with the attention for diversity, equity and inclusion in the field, ethics are an inherent part of Egyptological scholarship.1 1 Daly 2007;Abdel Maguid 2014;Tully 2015;Stevenson 2016;Carruthers and Van Damme 2017.

Interest in digital approaches to Egyptology started in the second half of the 20th century, for instance with the establishment of the Manuel de codage at the 1984 international round table "Informatique appliquée à l'Égyptologie." Since that time, many large textual, visual, and spatial digital projects have been developed by teams from several countries for a variety of audiences. The developments of practical and theoretical approaches of digital Egyptology have subsequently grown within the broader context of the Digital Humanities. Although digital scholarly projects are in the first place content driven, ethical questions on, among other aspects, representation, access and sustainability should always be included and can only be an effective part of the project design when considered and integrated right from the start.

Beginning in the Levant at the end of the Pleistocene era 11,700 years ago and emerging subsequently in other regions, the advent of farming and food production sustained a massive expansion of human populations, facilitated a host of socioeconomic and technological developments, and transformed much of the world’s land surface. The capacity of farming to support a rapidly growing population may appear to explain why farming first began. However, fundamental questions remain, including whether farming was ever a preferred subsistence option for mobile foragers—and for early farmers. In addition to the failure of farming to appear anywhere in the world prior to the early Holocene, the security and flexibility of hunting and gathering contrasts with the disadvantages associated with relying on farming for food. In querying the prevailing food paradigm, it is argued that fibre production for woven cloth in response to warmer, moister climate regimes in the early Holocene tipped the balance in favour of farming. Contingent on complex clothing acquiring social functions of dress and modesty during the late Pleistocene, and considered in conjunction with the early farming dispersal hypothesis, the textile hypothesis circumvents unfounded presumptions and offers a parsimonious explanatory paradigm for the origins of farming.
