The article mentioned Tharo; isn’t that around El Arish, while Tel Habuwa appears to be just east of the Suez Canal?
Dr V put Avaris/Tharu/Rhinocolura near El Arish; Tel Habuwa is east of the canal. It’s safe to bet that the Hyksos built a lot of stuff in lower Egypt at least, probably largely e of the River.
Strabo confirms in 15 AD, that Rhinocolura is the same town as Tharu in 1450 BC: “After Gaza one comes to Rhaphia, where a battle was fought between Ptolemaeus the Fourth and Antiochus the Great. Then to Rhinocolura, so called from the people with mutilated noses that had been settled there in early times; for some Ethiopian invaded Egypt and, instead of killing the wrongdoers, cut off their noses and settled them at that place, assuming that on account of their disgraceful faces they would no longer dare to do people wrong. Now the whole of this country from Gaza is barren and sandy, but still more so is the country that lies next above it, which contains Lake Sirbonis, a lake which lies approximately parallel to the sea and, in the interval, leaves a short passage as far as the Ecregma, as it is called; the lake is about two hundred stadia in length and its maximum breadth is about sixty stadia; but the Ecregma his become filled up with earth. Then follows another continuous tract of this kind as far as Casius; and then one comes to Pelusium.” (Strabo, Geographia, XVI,2,31-32)
