État et irrigation en Égypte antique

Abstract: RésuméCet article examine la relation entre l’irrigation et l’État égyptien antique.

“…The pattern is of larger central units up to 10 hectares in area, with peripheral smaller units of 90 Spencer (2010) and (2016) 3-6. 91 Manning (2002) for state and irrigation in the Ptolemaic period, Hunt (1988) argues that scholars have been influenced by Wittfogel's Oriental Despotism model in suggesting that irrigation works represent a system of authority, but that each system should be looked at in context because the relationship between small and large canal systems, authority structures and local communities is more complex, with local irrigation communities able to operate larger canal systems. 92 114 estimates land holding areas to have been most sustainable at 6 to 7km 2 , with the maxium radius around a village at 4km for intensive land use evidenced at Corinth, after Engels (1990) 2.…”
