  • 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.

  • A Jar from Sidon with the Name of Pharaoh Tawosret
    ARCHAEOLOGY & HISTORY IN THE A JAR FROM SIDON WITH THE LEBANON ISSUE TWENTY FOUR: NAME OF PHARAOH TAWOSRET WINTER 2006, PP. 121-128. MARCEL MARÉE H During the 2005 season, the British Museum excavations at Sidon have yielded three fragments of an important Egyptian jar (figs.1-3). They were discovered amongst baked mud bricks with large amounts of pottery adjacent to two large tannours. Made of polychrome faience, the jar was deco- rated in a style characteristic of the Ramesside Period. All three sherds bear portions of a hieroglyphic inscription that lends particular significance to the find. A string of names and epithets refers to Queen Tawosret, the erstwhile wife of Sety II and here identified in the role she assumed at the very end of the Nineteenth Dynasty – that of pharaoh of Egypt. Tawosret’s independent rule was brief and appears to have lasted less than two years. As a consequence, the jar can be dated with great precision around 1190 BC, with the margin of error not exceeding some ten years at the utmost. It constitutes a valuable document on ongoing relations between Egypt and Sidon at a time of turmoil throughout the Levant, when migrating and plundering peoples poured in from the north aiming for Syria-Palestine and Egypt. While more fragments of the vessel might yet turn up, a speedy publication would seem desirable. The following, preliminary comments are offered on the basis of photographs supplied to the author by Claude Doumet-Serhal. While the vessel was made of white faience, the inscription and pictorial decoration were drawn in black glaze, and certain areas coloured blue.

All sources and references have been acknowledged. Titus Michael Kennedy UNISA Student # 48120324 September 26, 2013 __________________ ___________________ SIGNATURE DATE iii ABSTRACT A Demographic Analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan: Ancient Population Estimates and Insights through Archaeology by Titus Michael Kennedy This thesis is a demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 1550/1500-1200/1150 BCE), undertaken through the use of archaeological and anthropological data. The purpose is to establish estimates for the settlement population, nomadic population, nuclear family size, house size, sex ratio, and life expectancy of the people of Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Previous studies have not addressed these issues in detail, nor had data from the entire scope of Canaan been considered, nor had a precise methodology been developed or used for estimating specific settlement populations and nomadic populations for Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Thus, additional aspects of the thesis include the development and use of a new methodology for estimating ancient populations and a database of all of the Late Bronze Age sites in Canaan—both archaeological and textual.

  • The Alphabet
    The Alphabet Alan Millard 1. Writing in Canaan 1.1. Egyptian and Babylonian When Israelites occupied Canaan at the end of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1250–1150 bce), they took over a land where writing had been known for almost two thousand years. In the south, potsherds bearing Egyptian hieroglyphs for the name of pharaoh Narmer have been found at Arad and Tell el-ʿAreini, while seal impressions with names of other early pharaohs and officials were discovered atʿ En Besor. Those signs of authority were recognized in Early Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 3500–2200 bce), whether or not local people could read them. Although Babylonian cuneiform was current in Syria during the latter part of the third millennium bce, the earliest cuneiform texts found in Canaan belong to the Old Babylonian period or Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000–1550). They are seven incomplete tablets and two liver models, which imply a local readership, and part of an inscribed stone jar, all from Hazor; perhaps a letter from Shechem; an administrative text from Hebron; and a fragment from Gezer (the dating of the last three between the Middle and Late Bronze Ages, ca. 2000– 1200, is debatable). The few inscribed cylinder seals did not originate in Canaan, and their legends were not necessarily read there. At the same time, numerous Egyptian scarabs circulated, many bearing the names of officials often with funerary formulas, but they functioned principally as amulets, so their legends were not necessarily more meaningful than magic signs. Egyptian and Babylonian writing are better attested from the Late Bronze Age (ca.

  • Revisiting Tell Deir 'Alla: a Reinterpretation of the Early Iron
    Revisiting Tell Deir ‘Alla: A reinterpretation of the Early Iron Age deposits Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Master in Philosophy by Diederik Johannes Herrius Halbertsma 31 May 2019 School of Histories, Languages and Cultures Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology 2 Acknowledgements Working with an old excavation archive is a daring and complicated endeavour, but can yield intriguing results. Few know this better than Dr Margreet Steiner. While contemplating Iron Age archaeology in a small café in Leiden, she notified me of the potential of the Tell Deir ‘Alla archive, and ignited in me the flame of curiosity. This fascinating archaeological site, which created such a legacy for archaeologists both in- and outside of the Netherlands, deserves to have its full potential explored. It is how I got in touch with Dr Gerrit van der Kooij, whose passion for, and knowledge of, the archaeology of the Southern Levant is hard not to be inspired by. Through both Margreet and Gerrit I got to know about Henk Franken and his legacy. My thanks go first and foremost to these three remarkable scholars, who have elevated the field through inspiration, criticism, and continuous effort. As anyone who’s ever started studying mudbrick archaeology will know, the first confrontation with a complex cross-section can be an overwhelming experience. One can easily “not see the layers for the lines”. I was fortunate enough to be taught the principles of mudbrick archaeology at the Tell Damiyah Project, co-directed by Dr Lucas Petit and Prof Zeidan Kafafi.

NADAV NA’AMAN SUMITTED TO THE SENAT OF TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY 2010 Acknowledgements I began to study the history of ancient Israel in 1994, fascinated by the lecture on “History of Ancient Israel” delivered by A. Tsukimoto at Rikkyo University, Tokyo. My interest in the subject was further developed at the University of Tsukuba, where Y. Ikeda became my supervisor. As he himself studied in Jerusalem, he recommended me to study in Israel. Upon obtaining a master degree, I came to Tel Aviv in 2000 to continue my research. I am deeply grateful to the two outstanding Japanese scholars, who provided me the way to study the subject in Israel. During my first years in Tel Aviv, S. Izre’el, I. Singer, K.E. Slansky, and R. Zadok helped me to tackle the complexity of the sources. The late M. Kochavi and the late G. Covo taught me the significance and the pleasure of archaeology. In the years 2006-2007, I had an opportunity to study in Heidelberg, Germany. During my stay, I immensely benefited from conversations and discussions with O. Lipschits, M. Oeming, and J. L. Wright. The staffs of the Tel Rekhesh expeditions, amongst all, Y. Paz, have always offered warm encouragement to complete my dissertation. Innumerable English and Hebrew language editors helped me compose the thesis.

  • The Achaemenid Impacts on the Levantine Architecture During the Fifth and Fourth Centuries B.C.E
    Journal of Anthropology and Archaeology December 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 89-99 ISSN 2334-2420 (Print) 2334-2439 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaa.v5n2a7 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaa.v5n2a7 The Achaemenid Impacts On The Levantine Architecture During The Fifth And Fourth Centuries B.C.E. Hashem Mohammad Khries1, Ph.D. Abstract The architectural remains give a direct expression of people's history in every age; explain the extent of their technological competence, traditions, culture, ideological levels, and their relations. The practice of architecture is used to accomplish both functional and emotional requirements, and thus, it serves both technical and artistic aims. Although these two aspects may be distinguished, they cannot be separated. During the Persian rule, the Levantines did not deny their ancestors' building techniques and methods they knew in the earlier periods, rather than they continued to employ them with or without modifications. The Persians were also known to hire Greek architects for constructing their monumental buildings. The architectural and decorative elements of the palatial buildings erected at the Achaemenid capitals have inspired the Levantine architects, specifically the Phoenicians in their northern colonies. This article describes the Achaemenid influences on the technique and art of designing of buildings in the Levant as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. Keywords: Achaemenid Art; Architectural Ornaments; Building Techniques; Levant; Levantine Architecture; Persian Art. 1. Introduction The Levant is a historical and geographical term referring to a vast area of the central territories of the Fertile Crescent to the east of the Mediterranean Sea comprising Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine nowadays.

  • An Unguent Container As an Egyptian Royal Gift
    An unguent container as an Egyptian royal gift The function and value of calcite-alabaster drop jars during the Late Bronze Age in Egypt, the Levant, and Cyprus Audrey Crabbé [email protected] S2143348 Master Thesis Classics and Ancient Civilizations Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University 15/07/2020 Dr. M. Müller Foreword This master’s thesis is the first extensive comparative study of all the calcite-alabaster drop jars discovered in Egypt, the Levant, and Cyprus. The drop jars in other materials, such as faience, pottery, and bronze are also shortly discussed. Through the analysis of the different find contexts, associated finds, iconographical and textual sources, and results of the residue analyses conducted on the preserved contents inside of several drop jars, the function and value of the drop jar, and its role in the international exchanges during the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean is proposed. The inspiration for this master’s thesis was the discovery of a calcite-alabaster drop jar at the Cypriot site of Pyla-Kokkinokremos during the 2019 archaeological mission of Ghent University under the direction of Prof. Dr. Joachim Bretschneider. This discovery sparked questions on the origin, acquisition, function, value, and role of this type of vase, which are all matters addressed in this study. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Miriam Müller, for all the support, fruitful discussions, and constructive feedback, which greatly helped me to complete successfully and punctually this master’s thesis. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Joachim Bretschneider for all his help and advice throughout these past years and for giving me the chance and permission to include the unpublished drop jar in this study.

  • 2018 ASOR Abstract Book
    2018 ASOR Abstract Book Plenary Address Hélène Sader (American University of Beirut), “Between Looters, Private Collectors, and Warlords: Does Archaeology Stand a Chance?” Endangered archaeology is not a modern phenomenon: archaeological sites and monuments have suffered from looting and destruction since earliest antiquity. Looking back at the past we witness recurrent destructions and burning of cities, looting of treasures, violations of tombs, and more. However, the danger seems more acute and the destructions more shocking today. Endangered archaeology has become a major concern of both states and individuals because of the awareness people have developed of the importance of the past and the need to preserve it. The role of the media in informing and raising public awareness cannot be overstated. In spite of this, archaeology continues to be endangered and the causes of the threats have not changed. As an observer who witnessed and accompanied all the vicissitudes of Lebanese archaeology before, during, and after the civil strife, Hélène Sader will address the endemic causes of this phenomenon from the Lebanese perspective. She will discuss what was, what was not, and what should have been done to remedy the situation and preserve archaeological heritage. There may still be a chance to save archaeology. 1A.

  • Revisiting the Isolated Canaanite Temple of Tel Mevorakh
    10.1515/jlecol-2017-0026 Journal of Landscape Ecology (2017), Vol: 10 / No. 3. REVISITING THE ISOLATED CANAANITE TEMPLE OF TEL MEVORAKH ITAMAR WEISSBEIN The Institute of Archaeology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Mount Scopus, Jerusalem, Israel, e-mail: [email protected] Received: 29th May 2017, Accepted: 15th September 2017 ABSTRACT The isolated Late Bronze temple at Tel Mevorakh was interpreted by its excavator, E. Stern, as a "road sanctuary" which sits on an important trading route, and as a daughter site of Tel Dor. This article, wish to reexamine this interpretation by drawing the attention to the ancient natural landscape which surrounds the temple, especially the Taninim River and the Kabara Marsh. Those major water sources where significant natural barriers which prevented the passage of main roads in this area. Probably, they also formed a political border which divides between Tel Mevorakh and the Carmel Coast. Therefore, this paper offers that the Tel Mevorakh temple was part of the settlement system of the northern Sharon, and was isolated from roads. The main reason that led to the establishment of a cult-site at Tel Mevorakh was its unique natural surroundings, which was related in the minds of its worshipers to the mythical world of the gods. Keywords: Tel Mevorakh, Landscape Archaeology, Sacred Landscape, Canaanite Cult. Temple.

It is located on the Israeli coast, close to the south bank of the Taninim River and in the north entrance to the modern village of Beit-Hanania.
