The Contents, with abstracts in Spanish and English, for the most recent issue of RIHAO are now available at the above page. As an example, one of the many papers is by John Baines: "Definiciones tempranas del mundo egipcio y sus alrededores. Abstract: This article considers the fundamental changes in the Egyptian presentation of order and of dominance of the surrounding world that took place during the formative period of the Egyptian state (Nagada III / Dynasty 0). The principal material analysed is drawn from the decorated knives, palettes, and maceheads of the period. These artifact types provide crucial evidence for reconstructing the message which the elite proclaimed to itself about Egypt and its relations with the outside world. "
