| Résumé: | Once a mysterious presence in Egyptian history, the Hyksos (ca. 1663-1555 BCE) offer a fortunate case where a particular material culture can be associated with a specific people. Pottery unearthed at Tell el-Dab˓a and Tell el-Maskhuta provides complementary evidence for defining Hyksos material culture. While exhibiting a dominant Middle Bronze Age Canaanite heritage, these ceramics show that the Hyksos produced a culture that joined Canaanite and Egyptian traditions with the addition of locally developed traits. |
