Résumé / Abstract : Egypt and the Levant was founded by Manfred Bietak in 1990 to provide a publication platform for the research on cultural contacts between Egypt and her neighbours. A focus of interest was the Egyptian-Canaanite fusion of cultures, which was mainly encountered at the site of Tell el-Dab’a during the Austrian excavations. From the beginning, the scope of the journal was international and interdisciplinary. The subject area has now been greatly expanded far beyond the original topics. It comprises reports and preliminary reports on archaeological excavations in Egypt and the entire Middle East including the Sudan, as well as articles dealing with all aspects of Egyptian and Near Eastern archaeology, history or cultural history. The main emphasis lays on the pharaonic period, but both contributions to prehistory of the said regions, and post-pharaonic periods may be accepted. In addition, a broad range of scientific topics is covered, including C14-dating, material analyses, archaeobotanical and archaeozoological studies as well as studies in physical anthropology.
