Tell el-Dabʻa X. Part 1

More about the book

Following a summary of the 1989 excavations at `Ezbet Helmi, 1 km west of Tell el-Daba, Fuscaldo catalogues a rare assemblage of hundreds of vessels from the site. The vessels were found scattered along a street to the north of a monumental complex, dating from the Late Hyskos Period. Fuscaldo argues that the vessels were smashed to mark the conquest of Avaris by Ahmose. The illustrated catalogue is followed by a ceramic corpus of the early 18th Dynasty and statistical analysis of the Late Hyskos vessels. The volume contains a seperate folder of 7 large site plans.
