During the renewed Turco-Italian excavations at Karkemish, several such items, significant or typology as well, were uncovered from the latest Neo-Assyrian phase in the palatial compound in area C, dating to the later 7 th century BC. Earlier British Museum excavations at Karkemish also uncovered a number of Egyptian objects, mainly from the Iron III houses in the Outer Town. Aegyptiaca from Karkemish thus mainly dates to the Late Period, with a cluster attributable to Dynasty XXVI.

In order to identify it as Egyptian blue, the microstructure and chemical composition of the ingot have been investigated by means of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman microspectrometry and FT-IR spectroscopy.
Moreover, we analyzed the archaeological context from which they have been recovered to tentatively provide its functional interpretation. Lastly, we compared the Karkemish ingot with other published specimens from stratigraphically defined contexts, with the aim of understanding the distribution and function of the Egyptian blue in the Near East between the early Iron Age and the Achaemenid period. Finally, we discussed the chronological, geographic and functional trends in light of the historical events of these periods.
