Description
Summary:The knapped stone assemblages of two settlement sites, Tell el-Dabca and Tell Edfu, are presented in this paper. They cover both the periods from the Middle Kingdom till the New Kingdom, although a part of the finds from Tell Edfu date back to ending Old Kingdom / beginning First Intermediate Period. Because of the settlements’ locations in both Lower and Upper Egypt, the artefacts allow insights into regional characteristics such as knapping technologies and pattern of selection regarding blanks and tools as well as their development in the various periods. Although the all over number of studies is still limited today, the differences in raw material selection, local blank production and preferred tool types point to the existence of economic networks and state supply, which cannot only be explained by the settlement locations and the corresponding access to raw materials.
