27 authors-friends of Anthony Spalinger contributed to the Studies
in Honour of hiis 70th Feast of Thoth.
The volume presents proceedings of the second international
conference dedited to the study of relations between Egypt, the
Aegean, the Levant and the Sudan in the 2nd and 1st millenia BCE.
The present volume presents the proceedings from the international
workshop entitled Egypt and the Near East - the Crossroads,
dedicated to the study of the relations between the two regions.
The symposium took place from September 1-3, 2010 at the Faculty of
Arts, Charles University in Prague. The main objective of the
workshop was to enhance our understanding of the historical
processes and the development of the abundant and complex relations
between Egypt and the Near East during the period defined by the
end of the Chalcolithic Period and the dawn of the Iron Age. In
light of this, special attention was given to the region of
Syria-Palestine. In order to obtain a well-balanced insight, the
subject was discussed both from an archaeological and a
philological point of view. The volume contains 14 papers, all of
them closely related with the topic of the workshop with seven
papers based on the study of material culture and archaeological
data and seven papers devoted to the study of written sources. The
first group (archaeology and material culture) contains studies
devoted to the Egyptian statuary from Qatna (A. Ahrens), to
material from a grown settlement of the late Middle Kingdom at Tell
el-Dabca (B. Bader), an overview of results of recent excavations
at Tell Tweini (J. Bretschneider /A.-S. Van Vyve /G. Jans) and Tell
el-Farkha (M. Czarnowicz), a study of the predynastic Egyptian
influence in the Jordanian site of Tall Hujayrat al-Ghuzlan (F.
Klimscha); an essay on religious symbolism in the Southern Levant
in the Bronze Age according to iconography (F. Lippke) and finally,
an analysis of the Levantine combed ware from Heit el-Ghurab (A.
Wodzinska / M. Ownby). As for the second group of texts (written
evidence) the volume contains the following papers: a reappraisal
of the tale of Wenamun in the context of Ancient Near Eastern law
(Ch. Brinker), a revision of the chronology of the Amarna letters
sent by Aziru, the ruler of Amurru (Cordani); a detailed revision
of relations between Egypt and atti set into the context of Ancient
Near Eastern chronology (E. Devecchi / J. Miller), a linguistic
analysis of the terminology used to refer to the king in Egyptian
and Hittite texts from Ramesside period (J. Mynarova); a study of
the historical topography concerning the location of the toponym
Qode (Z. Simon); a reconstruction of the translation processes in
the production and reception of the Amarna letters (H. Tarawneh)
and finally, an analysis of the relations between Egypt, Kush and
Assyria before the battle of Eltekeh (S. Zamazalova).
