Abstract
The technological study of a small number of objects produced mainly in the 18th Dynasty provides new data that can be related, typologically or geographically, to earlier studied objects. The analysis of the jewellery assemblage from tomb 296 at Riqqa, and of earrings from different sites, provides information on the production of ribbed penannular earrings in Egypt, comparable to those worn by the woman buried at Qurna. The study of typical New Kingdom gold objects, such as finger-rings of different types, provides further insight into the jewellery made when peace was re-established in Egypt.
