Analysing the Dynamics among the Social Groups and the Mechanisms of Social Promotion in the Provinces in the late Old Kingdom: SNA Methods and New Research Approaches

Résumé

Social transformations are discernible within the whole Egyptian society from the time of the late Old Kingdom. Social mobility and hierarchy are crucial issues, especially concerning the provinces marked by an increase in the number of titled individuals. The visual representation of social networks from the iconographical data and records coming from the tomb of Pepyankhheryib (14th nome of Upper Egypt) using the Gephi software makes it possible to uncover the role of some individuals in this network as well as detect the dynamics among the social groups surrounding the tomb owner, notably by connecting individuals who were involved in similar institutions. This approach, producing results that were unnoticeable from a manual method alone, ties in with a more global one whose aim is to investigate the social structures as well as the process of social promotion in Old Kingdom provinces by tackling this issue in a comprehensive way, based upon a crossover study of the written, iconographical and archaeological sources, and comparing the results with those obtained from my analysis of the provincial administrative structures.
