  • The Levantine War-Records of Ramesses Iii: Changing Attitudes, Past, Present and Future*
    03 James Levantine_Antiguo Oriente 08/06/2018 04:37 p.m. Página 57 THE LEVANTINE WAR-RECORDS OF RAMESSES III: CHANGING ATTITUDES, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE* PETER JAMES [email protected] Independent researcher London, United Kingdom Summary: The Levantine War-Records of Ramesses III: Changing Attitudes, Past, Present and Future This paper begins with a historiographic survey of the treatment of Ramesses III’s claimed war campaigns in the Levant. Inevitably this involves questions regarding the so-called “Sea Peoples.”1 There have been extraordinary fluctuations in attitudes towards Ramesses III’s war records over the last century or more—briefly reviewed and assessed here. His lists of Levantine toponyms also pose considerable problems of interpretation. A more systematic approach to their analysis is offered, concentrat- ing on the “Great Asiatic List” from the Medinet Habu temple and its parallels with a list from Ramesses II. A middle way between “minimalist” and “maximalist” views of the extent of Ramesses III’s campaigns is explored. This results in some new iden- tifications which throw light not only on the geography of Ramesses III’s campaigns but also his date. Keywords: Ancient Egypt – Canaan – Late Bronze Age – War Records – Toponymy Resumen: Los registros de la guerra levantina de Ramsés III: Actitudes cam- biantes, pasado, presente y futuro Este artículo comienza con un recorrido historiográfico del tratamiento de las supues- tas campañas bélicas de Ramsés III en el Levante.

Email: [email protected]. Johannes van der Plicht University of Groningen, Centre for Isotope Research, Nijenborgh, Groningen, the Netherlands; and Leiden University, Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden, the Netherlands. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT. An important archaeological survey was conducted by Leonard Woolley and T E Lawrence in 1914 on behalf of the Palestine Exploration Fund in the Negev and northeastern Sinai deserts—the “Wilderness of Zin.” The region of Ain Kadeis, associated by some scholars in the 19th century with biblical Kadesh-Barnea, received much attention in their survey and discussions. Concerning the vexed question of Kadesh-Barnea, Woolley and Lawrence gave their preference for the nearby Ain el Qudeirat1 Valley, and in particular the ancient tell. Their survey contributed significantly in the shaping of scholarly opinion on the matter, even until today. But modern surveys and excavations failed to identify any archaeological remnants of the 2nd millennium BCE in the above regions, thereby putting the above associations in question. The Middle Bronze Age II, Late Bronze Age, and Iron Age I that cover this millennium are considered missing in the area in archaeolog- ical terms. However, our research reveals that archaeological remains of the 2nd millennium BCE do exist in the region, as determined chronologically by radiocarbon dating.

Hafstein Tentative States of Heritage - Facts-in-the-ground as facts-on-the-ground in the Tentative Lists of Israel and Palestine ABSTRACT In 2011 Palestine became a member state of UNESCO and ratified the World Heritage Convention. When Palestine became a State Party of the convention a new arena, the super bowl of cultural heritage, known as the World Heritage List occurred for the heritage sector for Palestine. In this arena the conflicting states of the Holy Land, Israel and Palestine, are equals. This thesis presents the properties listed on the Tentative Lists (the list from which properties for the World Heritage List are chosen) of Israel and Palestine and it compares the two lists with focus on the presentation of history and how it is used to claim the same land.

  • Paper Abstracts
    PAPER ABSTRACTS Plenary Address Eric H. Cline (The George Washington University), “Dirt, Digging, Dreams, and Drama: Why Presenting Proper Archaeology to the Public is Crucial for the Future of Our Field” We seem to have forgotten that previous generations of Near Eastern archaeologists knew full well the need to bring their work before the eyes of the general public; think especially of V. Gordon Childe, Sir Leonard Woolley, Gertrude Bell, James Henry Breasted, Yigael Yadin, Dame Kathleen Kenyon, and a whole host of others who lectured widely and wrote prolifically. Breasted even created a movie on the exploits of the Oriental Institute, which debuted at Carnegie Hall and then played around the country in the 1930s. The public was hungry for accurate information back then and is still hungry for it today. And yet, with a few exceptions, we have lost sight of this, sacrificed to the goal of achieving tenure and other perceived institutional norms, and have left it to others to tell our stories for us, not always to our satisfaction. I believe that it is time for us all— not just a few, but as many as possible—to once again begin telling our own stories about our findings and presenting our archaeological work in ways that make it relevant, interesting, and engaging to a broader audience. We need to deliver our findings and our thoughts about the ancient world in a way that will not only attract but excite our audiences. Our livelihoods, and the future of the field, depend upon it, for this is true not only for our lectures and writings for the general public but also in our classrooms.

RESEARCHES IN THE SOUTHERN ARABAH 1959–1990 Summary of Thirty Years of Archaeo-Metallurgical Field Work in the Timna Valley, the Wadi Amram and the Southern Arabah (Israel) Beno Rothenberg Director of the Institute for Archaeo-Metallurgical Studies, Institute of Archaeology, University College London, United Kingdom Thirty years of field work and laboratory studies in the Southern Arabah, the Timna Valley and the W. Amram (Israel) led to a comprehensive picture of ancient copper mining technology and cop- per smelting from Late Neolithic times to the Early Islamic period. This is the only region were such comprehensive research by an international team, under the directorship of the author, last- ing a whole generation, has been carried out. This work represents today the ‘textbook’ of ancient Near Eastern archaeo-metallurgy. This review is concluded by the description of the Egyptian/ Midianite Mining Temple in the Timna Valley. 1. INTRODUCTION: HISTORY OF RESEARCH AND ITS METHODOLOGY 1.1 During thirty years, beginning in 1959, the ‘Ara- bah Expedition’, founded and directed by the present author, undertook extensive archaeological surveys and excavations in the Western Arabah,1 with special em- phasise on archaeo-metallurgical sites (fig. 1). The area investigated extended from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea and from the border of Egypt (Sinai) to the border of Jordan, comprising most of the wadi systems and mountain range west of the Southern Arabah Valley. The results of these surveys changed fundamentally the historical picture of this region and of the southernmost part of the Land of Israel.2 Previous to our systematic field research in the Ara- bah, several explorers and archaeologists had visited the region and undertaken partial surveys, especially of the southernmost part of the Arabah, and also exca- vated at Tell el-Kheleifeh, a site on the shore of the Red Sea.

The first study of possible soil contamination was recently carried out. Approximately sixty samples, of soils in the Galilee region and 22 samples in the Judean Hills region including a wide range of important and/or historical sites such as the Israel Geological Survey and the Valley ol the Cross, the Hebrew University and the Old City among others were analyzed. Soil samples were collected to a depth of 5 cm. The samples were analyzed by gamma- ray spectrometry using a solid Ge detector. This enabled the precise identification of gamma-ray energy peaks. In all cases the presence of the short-lived (2 year half life) radiocesium isotope, 134Cs, identifies the presence of Chernobyl-related contamination.
