Resumen

El artículo analiza la circulación de artefactos egipcios tardíos del Imperio Medio (mediados de MB I a MB I / II) en el norte de Levante y la Alta Nubia en MB II a mediados de MB III (c. 1710-1550 a. Se han seleccionado tres estudios de caso: las tumbas reales de Byblos, la tumba de las cabras en Ebla y el cementerio egipcio en Kerma. Aunque las dos regiones estaban políticamente desconectadas, sus poblaciones se apropiaron, reutilizaron y ocasionalmente reinterpretaron los artefactos egipcios de manera similar. Estos artefactos, aunque se encuentran en contextos del Segundo Período Intermedio, generalmente datan de mediados de MB I-MB I / II (finales del Reino Medio). Se sugiere que el colapso del poder central egipcio al final del Reino Medio podría haber llevado a la recirculación de objetos egipcios más antiguos. La recirculación sugiere que la "globalización", observada en la arqueología y el texto durante la Edad del Bronce Final (1500-1200 a. C.), de hecho comenzó en la primera mitad del segundo milenio a. C.
