Gaza Study of 4 volumes by Fl. Petrie and criticism by W. F. Albright, The Chronology of a south palestinian City, Tell el-Ajjul, in The Amer. Journ. of Semit. Lang. & Litterat. LV, 1938, p. 337.

Fl. P. Copper Age tombs (M B I : A G 1, 3 f, 9 f. 11 f.) Albr. Fl. P. = Fl. P. Hyksos Age tombs (M B II B-C)

Fl. P. City: 2 strata (main) separated by great conflagration. " " Earliest strata = 12th Dyn.

" " Later strat. = Hyksos Age (A G I, 3 f

Fl. P. In Palace: 5 phases Fl. P. Palace I = 6-9th Dyn. (1st Interm.) Al. Late Hyksos Fl. P. Palace II = 12th Dyn. } Fl. P. Palace III = 15th Dyn. } Albr. New Emp. ca 1550-1200 Fl. P. Pal. IV = 16th Dyn. }

Fl. P. Pal. V = 18th Dyn.

No real E Br. occupation, none sherd. A G II, pl. XXXVI, these few sherds for which I found no ref. in the vol. with their flat base could, as Mr Albright thinks, belong to E B, but not with certainty.
