Online Egypt Lecture with Bowers & ARCE

The Bowers Museum and the American Research Center for Egypt (ARCE OC) present an online lecture, Ramesside Jaffa and the Decline of Egyptian Control in Canaan presented by Dr. Aaron Burke.

Excavations of the Egyptian New Kingdom fortress in Jaffa (Tel Yafo, ancient Yapu), on the southern side of Tel Aviv, were renewed by the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project from 2011 to 2014. As the Egyptian fortress in Jaffa is the only one excavated in Canaan thus far, its archaeological record provides a unique perspective on Egyptian rule and resistance to it in Canaan from c. 1460 to 1125 B.C.E., but especially during the late Ramesside Period when Jaffa was twice destroyed.

Presenter:  Dr. Aaron Burke, Professor and Kershaw Chair of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Studies, UCLA
