In addition to being available from Dr. van der Veen at
van_der_Veen@gmx.de, as noted by Dr. Jim West, a PDF of the article "Israel
in Canaan (Long) Before Pharaoh Merenptah? A Fresh Look at Berlin Statue
Pedestal Relief 21687", by Peter van der Veen, Christoffer Theis, and
Manfred Goerg, published in the Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections,
Vol. 2, No. 4, November 2010, pp. 15-25, may be accessed at
http://ia700308.us.archive.org/4/items/vanderveen_918/Jaei2-4VanDerVeenEtAl.pdf

The abstract of the JAEI article states: "In 2001, Manfred Goerg
published a new reading of a fragmentary name ring on a topographical
pedestal relief in the Berlin Museum (no. 21687). Although the inscription
had previously been listed in topographical studies, the reading of the
fragmentary third name ring had not received adequate attention. Goerg
suggested reading the broken name as an archaic form for Israel and argued
that it could have been copied during the Nineteenth Dynasty from an earlier
list. As his publication was in German, his proposal has so far been
unavailable to a wider English-speaking readership. Two scholars, Bryant
Wood and James Hoffmeier, have brie?ly discussed Goerg's proposal; while the
former welcomed it, the latter rejected it on linguistic grounds. The
present authors republish the relief fragment here in English and include
new evidence that appears to support Goerg's original reading." See
