A recently published cylinder seal (Lapp 1989: 5, fig. 4) from Bâb edh-Dhrâʿ, identified as "unique among the finds of the ancient Near East," was dated to the EB III on the basis of accompanying material. The diminutive size of the object, its provenience in a pit, its presence at a site occupied throughout the entire Early Bronze Age, and several parallels in the motifs it bears, are all factors that recommend a reappraisal of the date and significance of this object
