Skarabaen ausserhalb Agyptens: Lokale Produktion oder Import?

Numerous Egyptian scarabs have been discovered on Bronze Age sites in Palestine and Mesopotamia. These six papers, from a workshop held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich in 1999, discuss the reasons for this, looking in particular at the implications for trade and political relations between Egypt and the Near East and the manufacturing source of the scarabs. The volume includes a referenced illustrated catalogue of scarabs.
