Occasionally, a fortuitous combination of archaeological discovery, preserved inscriptional data and historical evidence enables scholars to correlate a particular population group with a specific material culture and a precise, or relatively precise, ethnicity. Such is the case with the Hyksos, a once enigmatic people belonging to a period of Egyptian history still generally considered a dark age. Archaeological work in Egypt's eastern Delta has established beyond doubt that the ethnic origins of the Hyksos lie in Middle Bronze Age Syria-Palestine. A key element of Hyksos material culture, the pottery, appears to be a highly sensitive indicator of Hyksos cultural development. This paper focuses on the hybrid character of Hyksos culture as expressed in the Hyksos ceramic corpus excavated at Tell el-Maskhuta and its implications for Hyksos ethnicity.

The Hiba temple is oriented east-west, with the entrance facing the Nile River to the west. The structure still stands, but the decomposing limestone blocks and partially collapsing walls attest to considerable loss of structural integrity and relief decoration. The high water table makes it impractical to clear the interior of the temple to the floor level, and the fluctuating nature of the water table makes the survival of relief in the interior of the temple below current ground level unlikely. Damage to the limestone blocks of the temple is attributable to tensile fracturing due to stress release, and a resulting debris accumulation of a limestone gruss can be found at the base of the walls. Any extended study of the temple relief and inscriptions must be undertaken based on previous documentation, although future discoveries of reused relief may provide additional details on the decorative program of the temple.

Once a mysterious presence in Egyptian history, the Hyksos (ca. 1663-1555 BCE) offer a fortunate case where a particular material culture can be associated with a specific people. Pottery unearthed at Tell el-Dab˓a and Tell el-Maskhuta provides complementary evidence for defining Hyksos material culture. While exhibiting a dominant Middle Bronze Age Canaanite heritage, these ceramics show that the Hyksos produced a culture that joined Canaanite and Egyptian traditions with the addition of locally developed traits.
