Kurzfassung:
Tell es-Sakan has revealed two culturally distinct occupation phases : an Egyptian phase (strata 9 to 6) characterized by an almost exclusively Egyptian material culture of the Late Predynastic Period (Dynasty 0), i.e. the late Early Bronze Age IB in Palestine ; and a Canaanite phase (strata 5 to 1) with a Canaanite culture of the Early Bronze Age III. Protected by fortifications rebuilt twice, the Egyptian settlement may have been, at the end of the fourth millennium ВСЕ, the administrative center of the Egyptian colonies in southwestern Palestine. The abandonment of the site at the beginning of the third millennium followed the Egyptian withdrawal from Palestine and the reorganization of the Egypto-Palestinian relations. The reurbanization of the site in the Early Bronze Age III shows the expansion of the Canaanite culture and political system into the Gaza region.
