## What it's used for here

Tel Aviv University Institute of Archaeology Occasional Publications 4. Sass's revised, low chronology: he now puts the Serabit inscriptions in the New Kingdom and the invention of the alphabet far later than in 1988; the "Twenty Years Later" article (De Kemi a Birit Nari 2, 2004-05, 137-156) states the same reversal.
