Three Conquests of Canaan
ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Kabri Regional Archaeology Survey Project 2006
Results of the 2006 Season Kabri Regional Archaeological Survey Project Eric H. Cline and Assaf Yasur-Landau 1. Introduction The military situation in northern Israel and Lebanon during the summer greatly affected our planned work at Tel Kabri. Katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah scored direct hits both on the Tel itself and the Kibbutz Kabri, as well as the nearby cities of Nahariya, Acco, and Haifa. Although the archaeological site of Tel Kabri itself was unharmed and no lives were lost at the kibbutz (except for 4,000 chickens in a demolished chicken coop), we were compelled to leave the area without finalizing our work. Despite these conditions, and due in large part to the immeasurable help of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) archaeologists in the North and the financial assistance of INSTAP, we managed to achieve many of our planned goals. Three projects had been planned for the summer: 1. A Thematic Survey of the Middle Bronze (MB) II Sites in the Area of Tel Kabri, Israel 2. A Re-Planning of the Palace and Re-Mapping of the Site of Tel Kabri 3. A Chronological and Typological Re-Examination of the Pottery in the IAA store rooms. The regional survey, which in our opinion was the most important, and which was also the most important and labor-intensive of the three planned projects, was fortunately conducted and completed during the field season, with the survey work ending just a few days before the beginning of the war. After the break of hostilities, IAA archaeologists Dr. Rafi Frankel and Mr.

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.

Middle Bronze Age Settlement Patterns in the Western Galilee, Israel Uncorrected Author's Proof
Uncorrected Author’s Proof 1 Middle Bronze Age Settlement Patterns in the Western Galilee, Israel Assaf Yasur-Landau University of California Santa Cruz, California Eric H. Cline The George Washington University Washington, D.C. George A. Pierce University of California Los Angeles, California During the Middle Bronze (MB) II period (ca. 1750–1600 B.C.), Tel Kabri, located in the western Galilee, Israel, was the center of a thriving polity with economic and cultural con- nections to Egypt, Cyprus, and the Aegean. While Kabri and some neighboring sites have been partially excavated, the rise and fall of the polity has not been clearly understood. We present evidence from the Kabri Archaeological Project (KAP) to reconstruct shifting settle- ment patterns, demography, and aspects of trade in the Kabri hinterland from MB I to Late Bronze (LB) I. We argue that Kabri, in the northern part of the Acco plain, follows a different developmental trajectory than does Acco and its hinterland in the southern part of the plain. Acco was urbanized early in MB I and developed a mature hinterland that per- sisted throughout MB II and into LB I. Kabri did not begin to bloom until late in the MB I period. Its rapid rise during MB II was accompanied by the abandonment of village sites far from the center of the polity and the fortification of nearby settlements. These efforts to consolidate power and to maintain the flow of goods into the center did not last long, and the polity of Kabri soon collapsed.

Cline-And-Yasur-Landau-Epos-2007
POETRY IN MOTION: CANAANITE RULERSHIP AND AEGEAN NARRATIVE ART AT TEL KABRI Fragmentary and often debated, the evidence of Minoan/Cycladic miniature narrative fresco art is still the most significant for the existence of Aegean epic(s) during the second millennium BCE.1 In her innovative 1989 article, Sarah Morris argued that "...the Theran frieze might be perceived as a chapter in the History of Aegean narrative, beyond its generic panorama of Aegean life.'2 However, miniature frescoes are not common in the Aegean world, and even less common outside the Aegean area. They are found at only four sites within the Aegean: Knossos (Grandstand, sacred Grove and Dance frescoes); Tylissos House A; Akrotiri West House; and Ayia Irini. The discovery, by Kempinski and Niemeier, of a fragmentary miniature wall fresco within a large Middle Bronze Age Canaanite palace at Kabri (Pl. XXXVIIIa) is therefore an important addition to the corpus, and is the first to be found outside the Aegean region. We fully accept Niemeier and Niemeier's conclusion that "...the style and iconography of the Alalakh, Tell el-Dab'a and Kabri frescoes are consistent with those of genuine Aegean fresco paintings and very different from anything else known from the Levant and Egypt."3 The style of the Kabri frescoes has been thoroughly discussed by many prominent scholars, including Niemeier and Niemeier, Sherratt, Hankey, Rehak, and others. However, very little has been said about their meaning to the Canaanite elite commissioning them, apart from considering them to be an exotic prestige item, enhancing the standing of the commissioning ruler as one possessing esoteric knowledge of far-away regions.4 Furthermore, it has not been explained why — at Kabri — the Syrian artistic tradition, dedicated to glorifying the king, was abandoned in favor of the Aegean style, which is notorious for the implicity, or even the invisibility, of depictions of rulers.
