This book provides an overview of the sites of Mycenaean pottery
finds in Egypt and Nubia. Data from thirty-six sites in Egypt and
twelve sites in Nubia are presented. The context of the vessels and
sherds dates from the reign of Akhenaten (18th Dynasty) to that of
Ramesses VI (20th Dynasty). The imported vessels were found in the
capital cities as well as in fortresses, other cities and tombs.
Stirrup jars and flasks came to light frequently. Copies of
Mycenaean stirrup jars made from clay, faience and stone were also
found. The oldest sherd of an imitation vessel was found in Amarna;
hence, the Mycenaean vessel shape (stirrup jar prevailing) was
copied outside of Mycenaean Greece in the 18th Dynasty and filled
with local liquids-possibly oil-and traded with Egypt. Egyptians
not only imported vessels from the Levant but also produced
imitation vessels themselves. Apparently, these vessels circulated
only within Egypt. Chemical analyses of sherds from different sites
reveal that the vessels found in 18th Dynasty contexts were made on
the Mycenaean mainland. During the Ramesside period (19th-20th
Dynasty) trading contacts with Mycenaean Greece shifted to Cyprus,
where high quality Mycenaean pottery was produced.
