M.R. Guasch-Jané, S. Fonseca, M. Ibrahim. 2013. ‘Irep en kemet’ wine of ancient Egypt: documenting the viticulture and winemaking scenes in the Egyptian tombs.

Presented are the research objectives of the project ‘Irep en Kemet’, Wine of Ancient Egypt, and the content of the project’s website. This research aims at documenting the complete corpus of wine in ancient Egypt and analysing the data (iconography, textual sources and artefacts) to unveil the importance of the ancient Egyptian wine culture legacy in the Mediterranean region. At this stage, a bibliographical researchable database relevant to wine, viticulture and winemaking in the ancient Egypt has been completed, with 197 entries including articles, books, chapters in book, academic thesis (PhD and MA), essay, abstracts, on-line articles and websites.

Moreover, a scene-detail database for the viticulture and winemaking scenes in the Egyptian private tombs has been recorded with 97 entries, some of them unpublished, and the collected data is under study. The titles of the tombs’ owners and the texts related to the scenes will be also recorded. A photographic survey of the graves containing images related with viticulture and winemaking will be carried out in order to have the most accurate information on the location and stage of conservation of those images. Our main goal is to provide scholars with a complete, comprehensive archaeological and bibliographical database for the scenes of viticulture and winemaking depicted in the Egyptian private tombs throughout the ancient Egyptian history.

The project’s website (www.wineofancientegypt.com) will include all the collected data, the study and analysis, the project’s history and team members, publications as well as the results of our research.
