Abstract
In his article in BSA 93 (1998) 199–219, Eric Cline comments on the recent discoveries at the site of Tell el-Dabca, where palatial quarters of the late Hyksos Period and the early 18th Dynasty have been discovered. For Aegean scholars the most spectacular finds from these excavations were numerous fragments of wall paintings which were identified as Minoan by experts working at the excavations and visiting colleagues. Cline particularly criticises the change of dating given to the paintings which were attributed by the excavators originally to the Hyksos period (1992) and afterwards to the Early 18th Dynasty (1995). Doubts have also been expressed about the validity of the new date and the identification of the paintings as Minoan or Aegean. This response tries to show: (1) the context of the paintings in the 18th Dynasty palace quarters in the light of recent research, (2) why a dating to the Hyksos period was originally considered, (3) why the paintings should be identified as Minoan and (4) that Cline failed to make himself knowledgeable enough about the archaeology of the site of Tell el-Dabca to give a serious opinion on the excavations and material.

The context is a palace at the end of the Middle Bronze Age and nobody, not even William Dcvcr, dates this phase a hundred years earlier into the 17th c. BC. Among the datable finds of this phase is White Painted VI ware which appears in Egypt at the end of the Hyksos Period and lasts till the first part of the 18th Dynasty (after 1600, more probably <italic>c.</italic>

<p>The theory of female leapers, which originated with Sir Arthur Evans, is not unproblematic. Contrary to males we have no evidence that gymnastics and hard physical training for girls were part of Minoan ideals and tradition nor do we have such evidence anywhere in the Mediterranean.

The female breast of one of those acrobats turned out to be an by over-reconstruction (see the new study of the originals by Marinatos and Palyvou, in Bietak, Marinatos, Palyvou (n. 4).

, mention in an abstract the suggestion about a Minoan community in the Delta. I may expect Cline to have also read later preliminary reports. In his n. 7 Cline complains that the results of Tell el-Dab<sup>c</sup>
a appear in several publications simultaneously (what Cline himself and many colleagues do themselves). I would personally prefer to publish once only but one is asked again and again to contribute written versions of lectures given at seminars and congresses in many different countries. Liza Giddy, Vivian Davies. Eliezer Oren, and others can certainly testify that I produce such manuscripts only very reluctantly and under much pressure. Certainly there is justification in providing information in different versions and languages, especially to colleagues who have difficulties with the German language.</p>

<abstract type="normal">In his article in BSA 93 (1998) 199–219, Eric Cline comments on the recent discoveries at the site of Tell el-Dabca, where palatial quarters of the late Hyksos Period and the early 18th Dynasty have been discovered. For Aegean scholars the most spectacular finds from these excavations were numerous fragments of wall paintings which were identified as Minoan by experts working at the excavations and visiting colleagues. Cline particularly criticises the change of dating given to the paintings which were attributed by the excavators originally to the Hyksos period (1992) and afterwards to the Early 18th Dynasty (1995). Doubts have also been expressed about the validity of the new date and the identification of the paintings as Minoan or Aegean. This response tries to show: (1) the context of the paintings in the 18th Dynasty palace quarters in the light of recent research, (2) why a dating to the Hyksos period was originally considered, (3) why the paintings should be identified as Minoan and (4) that Cline failed to make himself knowledgeable enough about the archaeology of the site of Tell el-Dabca to give a serious opinion on the excavations and material.</abstract>
