Tell el-Dabʿa XX

The main aim of this study was to synchronise the various excavation areas of Tell el-Dabʿa with each other by the means of pottery seriation. 9 phases dating to the period between the late Middle Kingdom until the beginning of the New Kingdom were taken into consideration. The publication consists – due to practical reasons – of two volumes. Vol. I contains the description of the various shapes divided into the 2 main groups of Egyptian and Middle Bronze Age pottery. The description of the types follows the clay classification of the “Vienna system”. The time span of its appearance as well as chronological relevant parallels are named for each type. Vol. II contains the pottery plates according to their phases and attached tables showing the duration and quantity of each type during the various phases.
