The Williamsburg Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) presents a Lecture with guest Dr. Shane Thompson of North Carolina Wesleyan University. Dr. Thompson will speak on "Egyptian Conceptions and Manifestations of Borders and Cultural Hegemony in the Late Bronze Age Southern Levant." The public presence of the foreign Egyptian hegemon in the Late Bronze Age Levant is principally evidenced through administrative and military installations. The impact of these installations primarily occurs in the political and economic arenas and raises questions about the existence of cultural influence by foreign powers on local non-elites as evidenced in the archaeological record. All are invited to attend, and this event is open to the public.
