The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context

Shelley Wachsmann College Station 2013

The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.

A discussion of the architecture, artifacts, and ecofacts are presented from the excavation of this Early Minoan I watchtower.
