Cost-Benefit Analysis Theory versus Practice at the World Bank 1960 to 2015
Two cost-benefit analysis methods developed from differing economic situations and analytical objectives in the 1960s and 1970s. The Trade Policy Approach of Ian Little and James Mirrlees analyzed international competitiveness of projects producing private goods and physical infrastructure in markets severely distorted by trade protectionism; it was adopted in 1975 by the World Bank; the multilateral regional development banks followed suit. The …

Cost-Benefit Analysis at a Crossroads: The New World Bank and Asian Development Bank Guidelines on Economic Analysis of Investments
The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are revising their respective Guidelines for Economic Analysis of Investments in response to a changed economic environment. Organization and management changes are also occurring as the banks attempt to both reduce the budget and improve project quality. These changes have implications for the consultants who increasingly conduct the banks’ project appraisals. The new guidelines generally encourage t…
A New Reference Work on Seal-Amulets
Based on two decades of research, Othmar Keel's introductory volume to his corpus of seal-amulets discovered in Palestine offers an encyclopedic reference work on this genre of artifact. While concerned primarily with material from Palestine, this volume represents a landmark in the investigation of scarabs and other seal-amulets that generally also applies to Egyptian evidence. Wide-ranging essays on typology, design motifs, materials, and espec…
A New Look at Semitic Personal Names and Loanwords in Egyptian
A partir de deux axes de recherche sur l'identification du vocabulaire etranger employe en Egypte ancienne et sur la definition des relations linguistiques, en particulier phonetiques, entre l'egyptien et les nombreux dialectes semitiques, l'auteur propose une etude des noms de personnes et emprunts linguistiques semitiques qui apparaissent dans les textes egyptiens du Nouvel Empire

Egyptian Relations with Canaan
The following article is a presentation of the relation of Egypt with Canaan between the Early Bronze Age and the Persian Conquest. Introduction “Canaan” is used here in its broadest sense to include the Levantine coast as far north as Ugarit (modern Latakia), southern Syria, and all of Lebanon and
Goshen (Place)
[Heb gosen]. Region in the eastern Egyptian Delta where the Hebrews lived during their stay in Egypt. Though some authorities argue otherwise (e.g., North 1967: 83), this is a place distinct from (1) Goshen on the S border of the land said to have been occupied by Joshua (Josh 10:41) and (2) Goshen
The Present Status of Egyptian Chronology
The current debate on Egyptian chronology is characterized by divergent opinions on the value of the Manethonian tradition, the lengths of reigns of individual Egyptian kings, the existence of coregencies, and the astronomical evidence. In each of these categories, there is little concensus and a wide range of possible solutions; a precise Egyptian chronology is therefore not possible. The present survey of this evidence and the theories derived …

Early Contacts between Egypt, Canaan, and Sinai: Remarks on the Paper by Amnon Ben-Tor
Archaeological and linguistic material published to date indicates peaceful rather than warlike relations between Egypt and Canaan in EB I. Military activities reflected in Egyptian texts were confined to Egypt and her east Delta frontier. Egyptian settlements in southern Canaan represent commercial ventures from which Egypt gained mostly raw materials not found in the Nile Valley. Among provable early imports were copper, turquoise, and conifero…

The two works reviewed here are important contributions to the study of women in ancient Egypt and the Near East, a growing field that is the source of significant new syntheses and fresh perspectives. Ward's Essays present more of the conscientious, painstaking work that characterized his Index of Egyptian Administrative and Religious Titles of the Middle Kingdom, making inter alia the strongest case yet against the existence of harems in that p…

Scarab Typology and Archaeological Context
In recent years, several studies have stated or implied rather low dates for the various phases of the Middle Bronze II period in Canaan. These low dates are based largely on scarabs considered independently of their archaeological contexts. Old and inadequate theories on dating scarabs are applied to Canaanite deposits, resulting in conclusions which violate or ignore the archaeological data. The premises of the present study are: 1) a viable ty…

Some Effects of Varying Phonetic Conditions on Semitic Loan Words in Egyptian
WHEN A WORD PASSES from one language to another, some degree of phonetic modification always takes place. The causes are many: unfamiliar phonemes, different habits of accentuation, etc. The results are governed by a strict set of laws which imposes a regular pattern on such phonetic modifications. At any given moment, then, a word which passes from one language to another is subject to a regular pattern of phonetic change which determines its ph…

I will begin with the only definite link I can find between Egypt and Mesopotamia for this entire period 2). In a tomb of the First Intermediate Period at Helwan, a very distinctive type of metal axe was discovered. This is an anchor axe, of which only a few examples have been found in the Near East 3). One example comes from Ur, probably of the Akkadian Period 4), another was found at Byblos 5) and still another from Syria of unknown provenance …

"The Shasu "Bedouin
The people whom the Egyptians called "the Shasu" are one of the enigmas in the struggle between Egypt and her neighbours during the Empire. They appear time and again in Egyptian texts and are frequently portrayed on temple walls, yet they have remained an elusive group for all the seeming importance accorded them in the extant documents. Were they an ethnic group or social class, a political entity or scattered tribes, a major enemy or sometime …
