Notre recherche a permis de repertorier la presence de vases chypriotes sur soixante-neuf sites archeologiques nord-levantins. Le corpus ainsi rassemble presente une importante variete de types et de fabriques, attestant d’echanges ininterrompus entre le Bronze moyen II et la fin du Bronze recent. L’interet des populations levantines pour la ceramique chypriote est perceptible dans la creation d’imitations et le developpement de productions locales qui en sont inspirees. Les interactions entre le Levant nord et l’ile de Chypre ont mene a l’introduction de nouvelles productions, a l’adoption de certaines pratiques et au partage d’une culture qui devient peu a peu commune. L’etude de la ceramique chypriote decouverte au Levant nord contribue a la comprehension des liens complexe...

Moins aisément identifiable que les autres fabriques chypriotes mises au jour sur la côte levantine, parfois négligée lors des fouilles anciennes, elle n'en n'est pas moins signifiante. L'étude de la distribution et des contextes de découverte de la céramique White Shaved Ware contribue à la compréhension des liens complexes qui unissent le Levant Nord et la partie orientale de Chypre à l'âge du Bronze récent. Mots-clés-White Shaved Ware, céramique, Chypre, Levant Nord, âge du Bronze Abstract-This article highlights a specific Cypriot production: the White Shaved Ware. Less easily identifiable than the other Late Cypriot wares discovered on the Levantine coast, sometimes neglected in ancient excavations, this ceramic is not less significant. The study of the distribution and the discovery contexts of the White Shaved Ware contributes to the understanding of the complex links established between the Northern Levant and Eastern Cyprus in the Bronze Age.

Employing a Communities of Practice approach, this paper investigates the human networks through which this specialized knowledge might have transferred, suggesting that the interaction between foreign and local military and technological specialists was the locus of this transmission. The Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period were characterized by waves of West Asian immigrants moving into the Eastern Delta, bringing with them their mastery of new production processes and technologies. This period also saw the introduction of West Asian military practices and values, including a corpus of military related Semitic loan words. Therefore, this paper will propose that the mixture of immigrant and Egyptian specialists in hybrid military communities of practice played a major role in this cultural exchange. I will also explore the cultural significance behind the adoption and maintenance of these foreign technologies and military values, as well as their impact on the New Kingdom Egyptian military and conceptions of kingship.

This is a workshop, to be held on the 6th of April 2018 at the 11th ICAANE in Munich. First results of an ERC Advanced Grant "The Enigma of the Hyksos" at the Austrian Academy and the Bournemouth University/UK are presented by an international team of scholars supported by external researchers. The research programme deals with the origin the reasons of immigration, the homogenity or heterogenity of a Western Asiatic communit, living during the late Middle Kingdom and the Second intermediate Period in the eastern Nile Delta. They were responsible for the rule of the Hyksos, a foreign dynasty, which took power in Egypt after the Middle Kingdom around1740 BC. The reearch also concentrates on the rise of power, on the way of rule, on the definition of the material culture of these foreigners, on their cultual interference with the Egyptian culture and on the reasons of their decline and failure to build a stable kingdom. Another subject is the impact of the Hyksos on the Egyptian Culture of the New Kingdom. The research is approached with methods of humanities and of biological sciences.

Tell Tweini or ancient Gibala is located in the Syrian coastal plain and represents the southernmost harbour of the Ugaritic Kingdom in the Late Bronze Age. As one of the few sites under excavation in the Northern Levant with a full archaeological sequence spanning the Early Bronze Age IV (ca. 2400 BCE) up to the Iron Age III period (ca. 500 BCE), Tell Tweini (Field A) is a key site for the study of the developments in the Northern Levant especially where the Bronze to Iron Age transition is concerned.
