The need for a collation ef the mass of published material echoing the structure of Egyptian social and economic organization might at first sight appear somewhat questionable. There are excellent works which deal very satisfactorily with pairtioular sectors of the social structure and administration of ancient Egypt at periods near to or including that under stufly. Indeed their treatment of these particular aspects of the wider subject is far more thorough than anything which can be attempted here. However, though no doubt scholars who have worked on the problems posed by ancient Egypt at this period have their ideas fully evolved regarding the salient oharaeteristics of and changes undergone by Egyptian society, the present writer believes that there i s a clear case for attempting to treat the subject as a whole i n a single written work.
