Die Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde ist das älteste Fachorgan der Ägyptologie. Seit 1863 publiziert sie Beiträge zu Sprache, Geschichte Literatur, Recht, Religion, Wissenschaft, Magie, Wirtschaft und Alltag und zur materiellen Kultur des antiken Ägypten, zu deren Rezeption sowie zur Geschichte der Ägyptologie. Die Beihefte bieten Monographien und Sammelbände aus demselben breiten Themenspektrum wie die Zeitschrift.
Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age explores the political economy of deportations in New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1550–1070 BCE) from an interdisciplinary angle. The analysis of ancient Egyptian primary source material and the international correspondence of the time draws a comprehensive picture of the complex and far-reaching policies. The dataset reveals their geographic scope, economic and demographic impact in Egypt and abroad as well as their interconnection with territorial expansion, international relations, and labour management. The supply chain, profiting institutions and individuals in Egypt as the well as the labour tasks, origins and the composition of the deportees are discussed in detail. A comparative analytical framework integrates the Egyptian policies with a review of deportation discourses as well as historical premodern and modern cases and enables a global and diachronic understanding of the topic. The study is thus the first systematic investigation of deportations in ancient Egyptian history and offers new insights into Egyptian governance that revise previous assessments of the role of forced migration und unfree labour in ancient Egyptian society and their long-term effects.
