| | Memphis, Minos, and Mycenae: Bronze Age contact between Egypt and the Aegean Before 3000 BC, when there was no unified Egyptian state that controlled the entirety of the Nile Valley, the various communities along the shores of the Nile were already trading with each other and with people further afield. Close ties with communities in Canaan, and through these with regions further to the north, are evident from the numerous Sumerian- and Elamite- inspired elements in Late Predynastic and Early Dynastic ruler iconography. From Dynasty 6 (ca. 2345–2181 BC) onward, Egyptian texts speak of "Byblos ships," an indication of the growing importance of maritime trade,... | | | The Wine Storage Complex at the Middle Bronze II Palace of Tel Kabri: Results of the 2013 and 2015 Seasons This report presents the architecture of the storage rooms found during the 2013 and 2015 excavations within the Middle Bronze Age Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri in present-day Israel, as well as the ceramic finds within them, and the initial results of the petrographic and organic residue analyses.

Egypt and Levant from the Middle Kingdom to the Early Second Intermediate Period The monograph investigates how Egyptian-Levantine contact from the Middle Kingdom to the early Second Intermediate Period influenced and effected the rise of the Hyksos. Utilising theories on ethnicity and cultural mixing, it examines the changing nature of Egyptian-Levantine relations, and reassesses the Egyptian concept of the other. The approach is holistic, gathering archaeological, textual and artistic evidence from sites across three regions: Egypt; the Eastern Desert; and the Levant. This method is proven to be well-suited in shedding new light on the origins of the enigmatic Hyksos,... | | | Handbook of Amarna Cuneiform Palaeography: A Project Update (2016) Since 2012 a project dedicated to the palaeography and scribal practices of the Amarna tablets has been carried out at the Charles University, supported by the Czech Science Foundation (Grant No. GA ČR P401/12/G168, "History and Interpretation of the Bible").
