| Summary: | Manfred Bietak's excavations since 1966 at Tell el-Dabʿa have brought to light the ancient Hyksos capital of Avaris. The material culture of the early, "Asiatic" level in Strata G-F has significant correlations with Palestinian MB IIA. Bietak's "ultra-low" chronology, however, is 50 to 125 years too low. This paper challenges his latest (1984a) evidence for absolute dates and defends the "middle chronology." |
