Isotope data from a sacrificial ass and several ovicaprines (sheep/goat) from Early Bronze Age household deposits at Tell es-Safi/Gath, Israel provide direct evidence for the movement of domestic draught/draft and husbandry animals between Old Kingdom Egypt (during the time of the Pyramids) and Early Bronze Age III Canaan (ca. 2900-2500 BCE). Vacillating, bi-directional connections between Egypt and Canaan are known throughout the Early Bronze Age, but here we provide the first concrete evidence of early trade in animals from Egypt to Canaan.
来自以色列泰勒埃斯-萨菲/加思青铜时代早期家庭遗址中一头献祭的驴和几只羊科动物(绵羊/山羊)的同位素数据,为古王国时期埃及(金字塔时代)与青铜时代三期迦南(约公元前2900 - 2500年)之间役用/役畜和畜牧动物的流动提供了直接证据。在整个青铜时代早期,埃及与迦南之间存在不稳定的双向联系,但在此我们提供了首批关于动物从埃及向迦南早期贸易的具体证据。
