Walls of the Prince ― Egyptian Interactions with Southwest Asia in Antiquity: Essays in Honour of John S. Holladay, Jr.

Archaeologists explore Egyptian interactions with Southwest Asia during the second and first millennia BC, including long-distance trade in the Middle Kingdom, the itinerary of Thutmose III's great Syrian campaign, the Amman Airport structure, anthropoid coffins at Tell el-Yahudiya, Egypt's relations with Israel in the age of Solomon, Nile perch and other trade with the southern Levant and Transjordan during the Iron Age, Saite strategy at Mezad Hashavyahu, and the concept of resident alien in Late Period Egypt. In addition, methodological and typological studies consider data from the archaeological investigations at Tell el-Maskhuta, the Wadi Tumilat, and Mendes in the eastern Nile delta.
