AI-generated Abstract

City Wall(s) in Avaris explores the historical and archaeological significance of urban fortifications in ancient Egypt, particularly during the Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period. The text addresses the scarcity of evidence for city walls in New Kingdom Egypt, discusses the findings related to the fortification structures in northeastern Africa, and highlights the contributions of archaeological research in understanding the functions and contexts of these ancient boundaries. Key findings are contextualized within a broader narrative about territorial protection and architectural practices in the region.
