En este trabajo analizaremos el rol de los pastores móviles en la extracción y circulación de bienes en la península del Sinaí, durante los períodos Predinástico y Dinástico Temprano, en el marco general de las relaciones entre el valle del Nilo y el Levante meridional. Consideramos que las prácticas pastoriles y de caravaneo de las poblaciones del Sinaí pudieron ser de relevancia para el establecimiento de las primeras rutas de circulación en la región y el desarrollo de las inte-racciones interregionales. Posteriormente, los egipcios podrían haberse valido de esas mismas rutas, y quizás de sus agentes, para controlar el aprovisionamiento de ciertos bienes suntuarios, en el marco del proceso de cambio asociado al surgimiento del Estado. Para abordar este tópico, y a partir de un enfoque internodal, se identificarán las evidencias arqueológicas de tráfico de bienes en el Sinaí y se intentará establecer los posibles corredores por los que circularían tales bienes. Se propondrán también algunas consideraciones sobre las implicancias del caravaneo en el desarrollo de las interacciones interregionales.
