Este trabajo ha sido llevado a cabo por un equipo de investigadores que han realizado un trabajo de campo sobre unas sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras, las fueguinas, en la Costa Noroeste de America del Norte. Estas sociedades al ser las mas primitivas y mas simples, sirven para explicar el cambio prehistorico hacia sociedades productoras de alimentos con diferenciacion social horizontal. El estudio arqueologico se centro en la utilizacion de posturas teoricas cercanas al particularismo historico para poner en crisis el evolucionismo unilineal y la caracterizacion universal de las sociedades cazadoras como las mas primitivas asociaciones de bandas igualitarias.

Este ensayo es un intento de presentar una actualización de la investigación más reciente del Profesor Morenz sobre el origen del alfabeto (publicada mayormente en alemán), combinada con algunas nuevas interpretaciones (tanto generales como detalles especificos basados en una lectura minuciosa). Al analizar el origen de la escritura alfabetica, el autor se centra en la fecundidad de los contactos interculturales entre egipcios y cananeos hace 4000 años. Contrario a lo que se podria esperar, esta nueva forma de escritura no fue originalmente solo una evolucion logocentrica hacia la simplicidad, sino que tambien se combino con una comunicacion destacada en el ambito de la cultura visual. En consecuencia, podemos detectar diversos elementos culturales caracteristicos de su lugar de origen: la zona minera de Serabit el-Khadim en el suroeste del Sinai, alrededor del 1900 a.C. Desde una perspectiva global, este atractivo paisaje fue el escenario de una de las innovaciones mas notables en la historia cultural, de la que aun nos beneficiamos hoy en dia: un fenomeno de longue duree (Fernand Braudel) que concierne no solo a la naturaleza, sino tambien a la cultura. Asi, Serabit el-Khadim como cuna de la escritura alfabetica puede considerarse a lieu de memoire (Pierre Nora) para la humanidad, que ciertamente merece un reconocimiento formal como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.

The history of the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa, located in western Aswan (Egypt), is an extended one. The archaeological site was in use from c. 2500 BC to the Byzantine Period. It comprises many tombs, mostly of Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom date, belonging to the highest and administrative elite of Elephantine, 1st Upper Egyptian Nome. This area played an important role in the ancient state, even though it was far away from the royal court, due to the exceptional nature of its border territory, its proximity to Lower Nubia, and the expeditions and the trade with other neighboring lands. The Qubbet el Hawa Project, led by the University of Jaen and with the collaboration of the MoTA, conducted its first field season in summer 2008. Since then, research works have been carried out by a multidisciplinary team. This volume is the continuation of the previous one, Results of the 2019 Research Season at Qubbet el-Hawa. It presents and offers, to the wider scienti?c community, a larger range of papers concerning the preliminary results of two campaigns, 2020 (12th season) and 2021 (13th season), and updates the fieldwork carried out during the past decade.
