Propp (eds.), Israel's Exodus in Transdisciplinary Perspective, Heidelberg-New York: Springer , 17-36. by Manfred Bietak | Bookmarked by Miroslav Barta In the following it will be shown that in Ramesside times besides descendants of the Canaanites of the Hyksos Period also new groups of Near Easterners arrived in Egypt as prisoners of war or as migrant bedouins. Workmen who had the task to pull down during the 20th Dynasty the temple of Aya and Horemheb in western Thebes seem to have been carriers of the same or similar Iron Age culture as the Proto-Israelites in the southern Levant as they used for their shelters makeshift Four Room-Houses. According to the stratigraphic evidence available the presence of the Iron Age people in western... Download Bookmark “From where came the Hyksos and where did they go”, in: M.

This study questions the notion of Egyptianization in the context of Kemeto-Nubian relations. This study incorporates critical race theory (CRT) and re-situates Kemet in its African context in order to address the problem of Egyptianization. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that Egyptianization must discarded and, in turn, the exchange of influence between Kemet and Nubia has to be... Download Bookmark Hittite Gods in Egyptian Attire.

Smith | Bookmarked by Ellen Morris Urban centers have inner and outer landscapes whose physical remains can be read as the materialization of social, political, economic, and ritual interactions. Inner landscapes are manifested in architecture and spatial organizations that configure relationships on the basis of economic status, ethnicity, occupation, age grade, and gender within the city. Outer landscapes are composed of the hinterlands on which urban centers depend for resources, including agricultural products and in-migrating laborers who seek economic and social opportunities. Urban-based elites reach deep into the... Download Bookmark “Ramesside rodomontade and a usurpation on the western Delta frontier’, in M. Collier and S.

Contextual analysis of fragmentation of the anthropomorphic figurines from the Late Neolithic site of Selevac. Etnoantropološki problemi 7(3): 809-827 by Marko Porčić | Bookmarked by Kasia Szpakowska The biographical approach to material culture and the hypothesis of deliberate fragmentation of anthropomorphic figurines are used in this paper to deduce a hypothesis that there should be an association between particular fragmentation categories and context types in the archaeological record of the Late Neolithic settlements in Central Balkans. This hypothesis is tested using published data from the site of Selevac by performing correspondence analysis and chi square test on a contingency table in which categories of fragmentation are cross-tabulated with context types. The results are...
