1. Auflage, 2021
Die internationale und interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Zeitschrift „Ägypten und Levante“, die einmal jährlich im Druck und online erscheint, wurde im Jahr 1990 von Manfred Bietak begründet, um den Forschungen zu den Kulturkontakten zwischen Ägypten und seinen Nachbarländern sowie der ägyptisch-kanaanäischen Hybridkultur, wie sie bei den österreichischen Ausgrabungen in Tell el-Dab’a zutage trat, eine Publikationsplattform zu bieten. Das Themenfeld der Zeitschrift umfasst sowohl Berichte zu archäologischen Grabungen in Ägypten und dem gesamten Vorderen Orient mit dem Sudan, wie auch Artikel zu allen Aspekten der ägyptischen und nahöstlichen Archäologie, Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaft. Der Fokus liegt auf der pharaonischen Zeit, jedoch sind sowohl Beiträge zur Ur- und Frühgeschichte der genannten Regionen wie auch zur nachpharaonischen Antike möglich, ebenso zu naturwissenschaftlichen Themen.
Der vorliegende Band 31 (2021) enthält 20 Artikel mit einem Schwerpunkt auf ägyptischer Archäologie und ägyptologischen Studien, u.a. zum Vizir der Ramessidenzeit Juty (J. Auenmüller), zu Fragmenten von Streitwagenszenen aus dem Totentempel Thutmosis I in Qurna (J. Iwaszczuk), der Festung Ramses III in Tell Qulzum/Suez (C. von Pilgrim), einer Stele der 3. Zzt. in Kopenhagen (A. Wüthrich) oder zur Grabstele des Sekhemka und Henutsen aus Abusir (M. Odler et al.). R. Krauss stellt ein Modell zur absoluten Chronologie des späten Alten Reiches vor. Mit der Vor- und Frühgeschichte Ägyptens befassen sich Beiträge von M. Kazimierczek (Tell el-Murra) und N. Małecka-Drozd (Siedlungen im Delta). Ägyptische Politik, Kultur- und Handelskontakte werden in mehreren Artikeln thematisiert, u.a. von G. Miniaci und C. Saler, K. Sowada et al., Audrey Crabbé und Joachim Bretschneider, N. Na’aman und M. Karlsson. Weitere Artikel berichten von Grabungen in Hala Sultan Tekke/Zypern (P.Fischer und T. Bürge), von Ergebnissen der NAA Analysen in Bademgediǧi Tepe (H. Mommsen et al.); sie analysieren die Zerstörung von Hazor in der SBZ (S. Bechar et al.) und das Aufkommen des „Pastoral style“ in Pyla-Kokkinokremos/Zypern.

The Ramesside Vizier Iuty from Bubastis
This article presents two unpublished canopic jars of the Ramesside vizier Iuty kept in the Civico Museo Archeologico, Sezione Egizia, in the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. All other currently known elements of the prosopographical dossier of this rather enigmatic functionary are compiled and discussed. The evidence not only allows the identification of the archaeological provenance of the two canopic jars from tomb no. 1130 in the New Kingdom elite cemetery of Bubastis (Tell Basta) in the Eastern Nile Delta. It also serves as a starting point to assess the available data about this vizier in terms of his tomb, burial equipment and date in more detail. Regarding the latter, a position in the 19th Dynasty is argued for, based mainly on the typology of the vizier’s funerary equipment, including the canopic jars, several shabtis, a model scribal palette and a heart-amulet.

The Destruction of Late Bronze Age Hazor
Hazor was one of the most important city states in the Late Bronze Age southern Levant and its fiercely final destruction has been of central scholarly interest for decades. Here, we present a novel perspective, which integrates multiple aspects for the end of Late Bronze Age Hazor. Our results show the complexity of Hazor’s end by integrating the stratigraphic analysis and comprehensive radiocarbon dating together with the study of local, Aegean-type and Egyptian objects from the recent decades of excavation at the site. Ultimately, we offer two different possible scenarios for the destruction of Hazor with regard to the date and the processes that led to the destruction.

An Egyptian calcite-alabaster drop jar at the Cypriot site of Pyla-Kokkinokremos
The Late Bronze Age presents a peak in the cultural interactions between the different empires of the ancient Near East. Bulk goods and small quantities of luxury products were exchanged between the kings and the local elite over long distances. During the 2019 excavation campaign, such a luxury item was discovered at the site of Pyla-Kokkinokremos in Cyprus: an Egyptian calcite-alabaster drop jar incised with geometric and floral decorations. In the present publication, this exceptional find is contextualized by examining other decorated drop jars from the Near East.

The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition 2020 (The Söderberg Expedition): Excavations in the cemetery of Hala Sultan Tekke
In autumn 2020, the 11th season of excavations at the Late Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke took place in extramural Area A, where, based on indications provided by magnetometer surveys, tombs, possible ritual pits, and numerous wells were found, but no architectural remains. Tomb RR, which had been partly exposed in 2018 and 2019, was further excavated. It revealed a preliminary minimum total of 54 individuals (MNI) and numerous artefacts including, inter alia, complete ceramic vessels, figurines, jewellery, ivory objects, a scarab and a cylinder seal. The life span of the tomb can, on the evidence to date, be assigned from the LC IIA1 to LC IIC1 period, i.e., roughly from the last quarter of the 15th to the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 13th century BCE. Just to the south of Tomb RR another magnetic anomaly, Tomb SS, was investigated. Only the uppermost burial layer was reached, which was covered by two large deposits of several hundred intact or fully restorable ceramic vessels. These include various types of Cypriot tableware, as well as imports from the Aegean, Anatolia and the Levant. The preliminary date of these contexts is LC IIA˗B, i.e., roughly the last quarter of the 15th to the last quarter of the 14th century BCE. Since neither tomb has been completely exposed, excavations in the protected area will continue in spring 2021.

Battle Scenes from the Temple of Thutmose I in Qurna
A set of 16 block fragments can be distinguished amongst the reliefs from the temple of Thutmose I in Qurna, which was built by Hatshepsut for her father. The blocks are decorated with representations of at least two battle scenes with chariots. However, battle scenes with chariots are very rare in this period and known exclusively from small sets of blocks. This article presents a detailed account of the material in question and discusses its reconstruction and meaning.

Egypt and Kush in Mesopotamian Chronicles
This article focuses on African-Mesopotamian relations in general and on how Egypt and Kush (in today’s Sudan) are represented in Mesopotamian chronicles specifically. Mesopotamian chronicles, which belong to a genre that focuses on historiography, contain references to Egypt and Kush in seven different chronicles dating to the Neo-Babylonian period and the Hellenistic period. The results of the study show that Egypt and Kush are not differentiated in the sources; that the references in question deal with military conflicts; and that Egypt appears both in positive and negative terms, thus standing in contrast to the propagandistic genre of Mesopotamian royal inscriptions. Even though Mesopotamian chronicles were primarily a matter for the scholarly elite, these texts provide one piece of the puzzle on how Egypt and Kush were regarded in ancient Mesopotamia.

Corpus of types of ceramic vessels discovered in Proto- and Early Dynastic graves at Tell el-Murra cemetery
Excavation conducted at the Tell el- Murra cemetery between the 2011 and 2018 archaeological seasons revealed 24 graves containing pottery sets. Analyses of vessel forms allow us to arrange them into five chronological groups, determined according to the chronological phases of the Naqada period: Naqada IIIB-C1, Naqada IIIC2, Naqada IIIC, Naqada IIIC2/D, and Naqada IIID.3 Pottery assemblages from each group contain some specific and repeatable types of vessels. There are several aims to this comprehensive presentation of pottery forms occurring in particular groups of graves, and for their comparison to the types recognised in graves assigned to groups at other Nile Delta sites. The first is to provide other scholars with information regarding all vessel types occurring at the Tell el-Murra cemetery. The second is to examine whether the pottery assemblages from Tell el-Murra have been subject to any changes over time. The next is to analyse whether these pottery collections are comparable to sets from other sites (and, if so, to what extent). The last goal is to indicate the reasons for and origins of eventual changes, and to discuss the conclusions arising from the analyses outlined above.

Dewatering Systems in Ancient Egyptian Temples and the question of reuse
This article discusses dewatering systems in Egyptian temples from the Early Dynastic to the Graeco-Roman Period (ca. 3000 BCE˗395 AD). In particular, installations for the discharge of rainwater and already used water will be analyzed, followed by whether the water was collected and could, theoretically, be reused – or not. This has not previously been investigated in detail in Egyptology, especially not in connection with the issue of reuse. The analysis does not aim to give a complete record of all features related to water in Egyptian temples – there are over 50 attested in the temple of Repit at Athribis alone – but to show the different types and discuss the possibility of water reuse.

The appearance of the Pastoral Style in relation to the Mycenaean Pictorial Style with reference to the case of some kraters from Pyla-Kokkinokremos
The Pastoral Style, which appeared in Cyprus during the LCIIC, is analyzed in this paper. The discussion centers on the pottery material from Pyla-Kokkinokremos, where several examples of Pastoral Style kraters were found. Imported Mycenaean pictorial kraters, discovered at Pyla-Kokkinokremos, are also stylistically and chronologically analyzed in order to clarify their chronological connection to the former, as well as the causative relationship between them. Emphasis is given to the chronology of the Pyla-Kokkinokremos settlement and the well-dated pottery in the kraters’ contexts. The majority of the vessels presented in this article come from recently excavated contexts. Some have been described in a preliminary form elsewhere, while others have never been published. Fragments found in older excavations are also mentioned and given in a few cases to supplement the newly excavated examples. The following chronological analysis of the pottery is based on comparanda from other closed stratigraphic contexts. Parallels from unstratified contexts are solely used for stylistic comparison to the Pyla vessels.

Late Old Kingdom chronology – another model
Posener-Kriéger who recognized two lunar dates in the Neferirkare archive limited her analysis to relative chronology. There are two possibilities: either both lunar dates fell in the reign of of Asosi, or one in Asosi‘s reign, and the other in a year of Unas. In the present article the possible absolute years for the two lunar dates are computed, together with extrapolated lunar dates, both under the assumption that at the time there was a regular succession of years with and without a census. The resulting chronology is an alternative to Gautschy’s model which she based on Nolan’s hypothesis that years after the census were counted when a thirteenth lunar month had to be taken into consideration.

Nile Delta settlements during the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods – their internal structure, variability, and evidence of “royal” influence
The analyses of individual sites have made it possible to define the spatial structure of settlements and the degree of “royal” impact on the towns and villages of the Delta. Their shape was determined by the flow of local watercourses, and spatial systems were developed around one or more cores having their origins in the local topography. There were no walls surrounding entire settlements. Internal walls, however, often indicated the division of settlement areas into districts. Also, the uniform orientation of buildings within the cores cannot be regarded as evidence of centralized urban planning. Domestic and farm buildings were arranged on a rectangular plan that was agglutinating and fairly uniform. The elements that stood out against the background of low-rise buildings were mainly multi-storey and massive administrative or defensive structures, referred to in Egyptian sources as Hwt or swnw, usually located on local rivers and associated with production zones. These buildings were the seats of institutions that controlled local production and the flow of goods and people in the name of the king. Their presence is the most striking evidence of “royal” influence on settlements. Temples and cultic areas, on the other hand, were generally hidden in the center of settlement tissue or even within administrative buildings. It was only at the end of the Old Kingdom that temples were brought under royal patronage, becoming increasingly monumental and displaying the majesty of the king to the local populace.

The metal sheet figurines from Byblos: evidence of an Egyptian import and adaptation
This paper considers some peculiar types of figurines found in Byblos, which are cut from a tiny, thin sheet of metal (copper alloy, silver, or gold). They represent human figures, mainly male, in a standing position. These figurines have been documented in various deposits in the acropolis of Byblos and their chronological range spans from 2100 to 1650 BC. Usually presented as a Gublite product, these figurines may actually be part of an Egyptian tradition, directly imported to Byblos and then developed and readapted locally. The evidence for an Egyptian import is provided by a foundation deposit discovered at Deir el- Bahri, in the mortuary complex of Montuhotep II (c. 2020 BC), which presents similar sheet metal figurines, but of clear Egyptian manufacture and conception.

Bademgediǧi Tepe: its Relations within the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface, and beyond. New information from neutron activation analysis
The present paper draws attention to 172 new NAA measurements from the site of Bademgediği Tepe, 45 of which turned out to be verified imports. Based on the ceramic evidence, it is interesting to observe how such a medium sized fortified citadel communicated with a relatively broad range of exchange partners. While imports were to be expected among the painted fragments sampled, the range and relative quantity of the unpainted imports is worth attention. Also of interest is that the unpainted imports follow the same routes as the painted ones, which in turn makes it likely the pottery was moving along already established routes, which might have served for the exchange of other commodities, such as raw materials or other finished goods.

New Light on the Correspondence of Abimilki, King of Tyre
This article discusses the chronological sequence of the eleven letters of the kings of Tyre (EA 146–155, 295) and the history of Tyre in the Amarna period, as it has emerged from the re-dating of the letters. The article also suggests that Abimilki was a Tyrian prince sent as a hostage to Egypt and, following the crisis of succession, chosen by Amenhotep III to sit on the Tyrian throne. The education and cultural background to which the king was exposed in his youth, in the Egyptian court, explains the unique characteristic of the Tyrian letters within the Amarna correspondence. The article also describes the history of Tyre from the later years of Amenhotep III to the later years of Akhenaten, and the contribution of the Tyrian letters to the history of the Coast of Lebanon in the Amarna period.

A unique piece of Old Kingdom art: the Funerary Stela of Sekhemka and Henutsen from Abusir South
The excavations of the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in the spring of 2018 brought to light a remarkable stela (Exc. No. 1/AS104/2018) with an offering table scene and two engaged statues depicting a couple (Sekhemka and Henutsen). The object also contains a list of sacred oils and two offering formulae (the usual Htp-dj-nswt and an unparalleled one, Htp-dj-nTr). Moreover, the polychromy is partially preserved. The article presents the stela’s archaeological context and description, polychrome reconstruction and discussion concerning its dating and the social standing of its owners. In the context of Old Kingdom art, the stela is interpreted as a peculiar combination of elements pertinent to false doors and statues. Parallels which could help explain these features are scarce. This stela provides evidence for the origin of the false door in early Egyptian shrines, and the subsequent development of two distinct architectural forms, the false door and the statue shrine (naos).

Early Bronze Age exchange patterns between Egypt and the Levant: a view from First Dynasty Abu Rawash
Geoanalytical results on imported ceramics from Egypt demonstrate wide-ranging links between 1st Dynasty Egypt and different Levantine commodity production centres. This diffuse network contrasts with the highly efficient Old Kingdom supply chain, based on the maritime route to Byblos and the surrounding region in northern Lebanon. A dataset of imported pottery from the 1st Dynasty elite cemetery at Abu Rawash builds on this picture. Early Bronze Age II/Early Levant II ceramic types from the site, mostly variations of one-handled jugs, were identified by thin-section petrography as originating in the Central Levant and the Central Jordan Valley/ northern Canaan. By the early Old Kingdom, a major transition had occurred in Egyptian trade routes, focusing primarily on northern Lebanon. Combed jars replaced the diverse range of jugs and jars as the main imported type in Egypt, yet the Early Dynastic one-handled jug shape continued symbolising the idea of imported liquid commodities in the artistic canon for much of the third millennium.

On the Antichambre carrée and the Sed-festival: Re-examining the issue
The present paper deals with the interpretation of the antichambre carrée, the room that constitutes a typical component of the ‘standard’ pyramid temples of the Old Kingdom (from Sahura onwards) and Middle Kingdom. The paper’s main scope is to question the broadly accepted theory on the meaning of the room’s decoration, namely that it evokes the sed-festival, an act of regeneration of the king’s reign. For this purpose, the thorough examination of the antichambre carrée’s decorative layout – assessing all known examples, with the focus not only on figural representations but also on the text – is combined with data obtained from related sources, including the Djoser shrine court within his step-pyramid complex, the Palermo Stone, the depictions of the sedfestival in Niuserra’s sun temple at Abu Ghurab and, finally, the ‘birth cycle’ of Hatshepsut’s temple at Deir el-Bahari. The major conclusion emerging from this comparison is that while the main message of the antichambre carrée is indeed the manifestation of the king’s rule over two parts of the country, the ritual acts on display could have taken place in royal ceremonies other than the sed-festival, the prime candidate being the ‘Appearance of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt’, an event that seems to have commemorated the act of coronation.

The Late Bronze II˗III Royal Palaces at Megiddo: A Rejoinder
Finkelstein, Martin, Arie and Piasetzky recently discussed the history and archaeology of Megiddo during the Late Bronze Age, relying in the main on the archaeological data and radiometric dates acquired in the renewed excavations of Tel Aviv University. In their discussions, much emphasis is put on the Strata VIII–VIIA palaces dug at the time by the Chicago Oriental Institute, the final destruction of the Stratum VIIA palace and its date, and the first appearance of Philistine bichrome pottery in Megiddo. Many of their conclusions regarding these issues are challenged in the present rejoinder.

Die Festung mit Palast von Ramses III. in Tell el-Qolzum (Suez)
Even the scarce information hitherto known suggested that the excavations carried out by Shafik Farid from 1960 to 1962 in Tell el- Qolzum had uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved fortress of the New Kingdom. Unfortunately, the results of the excavations have never been published. It is therefore a fortunate coincidence that two photographs of the plans were recently discovered in the archives of the Schweizer Institut für ägyptische Bauforschung und Altertumskunde in Kairo, which show the building remains from the Byzantine period and from the New Kingdom that were uncovered under Farid’s supervision. Farid had apparently made the plans available to the then director of the Swiss Institute, Herbert Ricke, for a book project that was never completed. The plans are now presented in the following article, accompanied by some introductory remarks. While the younger building layer provides additions to older excavations by B. Bruyère, the plan of the New Kingdom layer reveals the most completely excavated fortification complex in Egypt to date. Particularly remarkable is a royal palace in the centre of the fortress and the uniformly planned, almost model-like overall structure of the fortress, which reveals a great structural similarity to the temple town of Medinet Habu. The construction of the fortress is probably to be seen in connection with Ramesses III’s interest in raw materials from the Sinai and the regions further east attested by Papyrus Harris I.

The Copenhagen Wooden Stela AAd6 from the National Museum of Denmark: an unusual testimony of the 22nd Dynasty
The subject of this article is a wooden stela (AAd6) kept in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. By iconographical and typological criteria, this object is datable to the 22nd Dynasty and probably comes from the Theban area. The stela displays several particularities, among others, one of the longest genealogies preserved on this object type. Alongside a careful investigation of the different iconographical elements and a new translation of the text, this contribution looks into the onomastic and the prosopographical material, examining different titles such as “ḥnk-nw.w-priest in southern Heliopolis” or “wab-priest in chief of the estate of Mut, the great one, the mistress of Isheru.” This study not only reconstitutes the family tree but also connects this object with three others, that are datable to a timeframe from the 21st Dynasty to the beginning of the 26th Dynasty. An excursus focusing on the painting sequence of the text and depictions contributes to a better understanding of the creation of wooden stelae in the Third intermediate Period.
