This type of volcanic rock has been used as an abrasive and thus has been an object of trade since antiquity. With the help of Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, six of these Bronze Age samples could be correlated to their volcanic sources on the islands of Santorini, Nisyros and Giali (Greece) using the typical element concentrations ("chemical fingerprint"). The source of one pumice sample remains unidentified excluding, however, the Santorini eruption as a possible source. The concluding section of this article discusses the possible contribution, however indirect, of the pumice from Sinai and elsewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean to the controversial issue of the accurate date of the "Minoan" eruption of Santorini.

On the basis of these results alone it is difficult to prove the existence of cultural or technological links between these settlements, in spite of their common origin. The T.21 arrowheads showed the systematic presence of Mg, but no Mg was found in orther artifacts originating from the same site. Magnesiumbearing bronzes were not found in the Nile Delta artifacts. The systematic occurrence of Mg in the T.21 arrowheads seems to indicate that its presence was not accidental. Experimental results also tend to discredit the concept that the presen~.e of Mg could be related to corrosion.

This area, and in particular the North Sinai, which was the most important landbridge linking Egypt and Ancient Israel, is of considerable interest in the study of bronze technology in ancient times. The investigation made use of metallography, microhardness testing, and SEM analysis. The three artifacts were found to be of different chemical composition, microstructure, and manufacturing process. Preliminary results support archaeological evidence that this region enjoyed a high level of bronze technology.

The 17 comprehensive articles, written by leading scholars in the fields of Egyptology, Hittitology, biblical studies, and Aegean, Anatolian, and Near Eastern archaeology, examine current methodologies and interpretations concerning the origin, migration, and settlement of the Sea Peoples against the overwhelming new archaeological record from sites throughout the Mediterranean basin and the Levant.
