Ancient Egypt and Archaeology

The phenomenon of “displaced” tablets is assessed, i.e. tablets that came to light during the regular excavations at Kültepe/Kaneš but were either in antiquity or in the process of the excavation “displaced” and were not found or stored in their original archival context. Three texts that refer to persons or events known from other published sources (such as the famous Syrian text kt k/k 4) are edited for the first time, adding valuable new information to known events.
