Egypt
New light on ancient Egyptian colonialism
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-05/uocp-ats051706.php
An article in Current Anthropology about the Nubian site Tombos sheds new light on the nature of the relationship between pharaonic Egypt and its Nubian colony: "In approximately 1550 B.C., Egypt conquered its southern neighbor, ancient Nubia, and secured control of valuable trade routes. But rather than excluding the colonized people from management of the region, new evidence from an archaeological site on the Nile reveals that Egyptian immigrants shared administrative responsibilities for ruling this large province with native Nubians." The conclusions are based largely on burial remains from the site.
See the above site for a short summary of the article. The citation for the CA article itself is: Michele R. Buzon. "The Relationship between Biological and Ethnic Identity in New Kingdom Nubia: A Case Study from Tombos." Current Anthropology 47:3.
