This time interval is critical in the history of the region; it includes two phases of rise and decline of urban life, organization of the first territorial kingdoms, and domination of the area by great Ancient Near Eastern empires. The study is based on a comparison of several fossil pollen records that span a north-south transect of 220 km along the southern Levant: Birkat Ram in the northern Golan...

Gabolde Around 2010, following the Cairo DNA study and its publication, 1 French Egyptologist, Marc Gabolde, wrote a paper interpreting the data. This paper, as far as I can tell, underwent some revisions over time. It can be viewed online here: http://www.enim-egyptologie.fr/revue/2013/10/Gabolde_ENIM6_p177-203.pdf Gabolde concludes that he would prefer to view the KV35Younger Lady and the male found in KV55 as sharing a cousin relationship rather than that of a brother and a sister.

Egypt, where such stories abound, has often been seen as a particularly good illustration of the pervasive nature of religious violence in the Late Antique world. This article takes a different view.

J. 2015. Single-Context Recording in the context of archaeological fieldwork in Egypt, part one, Although scientific excavation has been conducted in Egypt since Petrie's time, many Western developments in archaeological theory and practice are yet to be adopted by the majority of current fieldworkers. The reasons for this are manifold, but stem from the way Egyptology is taught in universities. Many excavators still use the Wheeler-Kenyon box-grid technique, excavating in spits, and identifying layers and features through the baulk sections. Single context recording (SCR), by contrast, is now starting to be used in Egypt. The effectiveness of this methodology, its advantages over...
