The main aims of the project were to investigate social experience, social relations, and personalised or sentimental meanings in Roman and Late Antique Egypt through the study of the artefacts of daily life, centred on an examination of artefacts in the collection of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL. For instance, the project explored how the form, choice of materials, and wear on artefacts related to how they were used and valued, and their relationship to the social status and agency of the users; assessed variety in social experience according to artefacts which can be associated with people in particular social categories; and documented aspects of the nature of domestic experience that had been previously overlooked, including sensory aspects beyond the purely visual. The project also focused in particular on how artefacts were used to construct social categories according to particular life course stages, and the experiences and activities that were associated with them. The data in this collection relates only to a particular part of the project, the investigation of sound-making objects through the construction of artefact replicas. <p>This collection comprises 3D models of artefacts from the collection of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL, specifically, sound-making objects (musical instruments) from the Roman, Late Antique and Islamic periods in Egypt, including bells, cymbals, rattles, clappers, a set of pan-pipes, and a set of double-pipes, together with sound recordings of the replica instruments that were made using the 3D model files. The .stl files can be used to make 3D prints of the original artefacts. The sound recordings illustrate the basic sounds produced by the individual replica artefacts, and also include some ensemble performances using ancient rhythms, tunes and instrument tunings which are known to have existed in the Roman period. Photographs and descriptions of the original artefacts used as a basis for replica creation are available by searching for the object accession numbers on the Petrie Museum online catalogue (http://petriecat.museums.ucl.ac.uk/search.aspx).
