A ceramic kiln of the Early Bronze Age from Tel Lod in the southern Levant
Technological Observations on Two-Part Stone Jewelry-Casting Molds of the Late Bronze Age in the Near East
Two-part stone jewelry molds were intended for casting of small and delicate precious metal jewelry and were common primarily during the Late Bronze Age in the ancient Near East. Published examples bear witness to the technological sophistication of the ancient craftsmen who used them as versatile tools for casting of a variety of solid rings, bezels, earrings, pendants, diadems, beads, pins, figurines, and amulets. As most stones crack when expo…
Storage Structures of the Late Early Bronze I in the Southern Levant and the Urbanisation Process
Nearing the end of the Early Bronze (EB) I period (3350–2950 bce) the southern Levant underwent a transition from a village-oriented to an urban-centred society. An outstanding phenomenon of this period throughout the region is the proliferation of rounded circular structures, usually interpreted as storage facilities, often found in proximity to domestic buildings. These imply increased food production of individual households and a greater need…
The Transition from the Late Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze I in Southwestern Canaan – Ashqelon as a Case for Continuity
La culture matérielle du Chalcolithique et du Bronze ancien I du Sud Levant a été divisée en deux périodes distinctes. Néanmoins, même si chaque période possède ses propres caractéristiques, les fouilles à Ashqelon, dans la région sud-ouest de Canaan, ont révélé qu’elles se chevauchaient ; ceci est visible dans la poterie (répertoire typologique et techniques de fabrication), l’industrie lithique, le matériel de broyage, la production métallurgiq…
Groundstone Tools of a Copper-Smiths’ Community
Extensive excavations at the site of Ashqelon Barnea, situated on the Mediterranean coast of southern Israel, have revealed a large and diversified groundstone assemblage, specific components of which reflect clear selection for raw material and uniformity in typological, morphometric and technological characteristics. These components, namely basalt bowls, potters’ wheels and spindle whorls, form the focus of this paper, and are used to discuss …

A Community in Transition
The urbanization process of the Early Bronze Age (EB) has usually been discussed at the general/regional level. This paper utilizes the detailed information from Qiryat Ata—an EB IB–II (late 4th-early 3rd millennium BCE) settlement located on Israel's northern Coastal Plain—to conduct a more detailed analysis, at the site level, in order to examine the transformations experienced by a single community over time. The excavations revealed social an…
A Silver-Based Monetary Economy in the Seventh Century BCE
A response to the article by R. Kletter, "Iron Age Hoards of Precious Metals in Palestine – An 'Underground Economy'?" (Levant 2003), in which the author argues against our conclusions regarding a silver-based monetary economy in the 7th century BCE.
New Perspectives on Domestic Architecture and the Initial Stages of Urbanization in Canaan
Examination of the domestic architectural remains from the Early Bronze Age in the southern Levant shows that rectangular buildings with rounded outer corners were an outstanding characteristic during the transition from the fourth to the third millennium BCE. Numerous such buildings have so far been found at fifteen sites throughout Canaan during the Early Bronze IB and Early Bronze II periods (3300–2650 BCE; chronology follows Stager 1992). The…
