A study of the economy and in particular land management in Thinite Egypt. Primarily using inscriptions Lanna evaluates the production and redistribution of goods, the Royal court and Royal taxation, the corvee system of labour, the ideology of the regime, administrative officials and specialised workers, foreign trade and war, to show how surpluses were collected in kind and redistributed to specialist workers and religious institutions. Italian text.
This work presents the development of a theoretical model of land management (with its resources and inhabitants) for Thinite Egypt (the period when the kings coming from the city of This and buried in Umm el-Qaab cemeteries ruled most of Egypt). This volume is divided into three parts: textual analysis of Thinite inscriptions ; the second part is a synthesis of the data achieved with the former analysis, delineating a historical model of Early Egyptian State. The third part includes an appendix containing 28 tables with a further complete analysis of all the inscriptions in a tabular and really easy-consulting format. Finally there are 33 plates with the figures of almost all the inscription used in the volume.
