Summary/Abstract: This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the historical and scientific context of the development of early research in the prehistory of Egypt. In particular, it explores to what extent the construction of prehistory as a field in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century has been influenced by the European model of prehistory, by focusing on two case studies, which are the works of Paul Bovier– Lapierre in the Abbassieh region, near Cairo, and the works of Edmond Vignard in the Kom Ombo region.
