They also offer traces of the capture and potential execution of prisoners, as well as of mutilations –primarily beheadings. An analysis focused on the relationship between such violent images and/or practices and the sociopolitical sphere will allow us to consider the use of violence in different phases of Early Egypt, and the way it is connected to non-State and State scenarios. Indicadores arqueológicos, iconográficos y, en alguna medida, epigráficos ofrecen información sobre prácticas bélicas en el valle del Nilo de los períodos Predinástico y Dinástico Temprano, así como vestigios de la captura y potencial ejecución de prisioneros y determinadas mutilaciones, principalmente decapitaciones. Un análisis centrado en la relación entre tales prácticas y el ámbito de lo sociopolítico, atento a la delimitación entre escenarios no estatales y estatales, permitirá reflexionar sobre las particularidades del ejercicio de la violencia en las distintas fases que conforman dicho arco cronológico. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/8650 10.34096/rihao.n21.8650 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/8650/7584 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 21 (2020); 27-53 2683-9660 0325-1209 warfare violence power Predynastic/Early Dynastic Egypt guerra violencia poder Egipto Predinásitoc/Dinástico Temprano Capture, Execution, Decapitation: Reflections on War and Power in Ancient Egypt during the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods Captura, ejecución, decapitación: reflexiones sobre guerra y poder en el antiguo Egipto durante los períodos Predinástico y Dinástico Temprano info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=8650_oai
