AI-generated Abstract
This research focuses on the ceramic assemblages derived from strata VIII and VII of an archaeological site, primarily during the Late Bronze and Iron Ages. The study details various pottery forms, including open and closed vessels, and identifies specific characteristics unique to the site collections. By providing parallels with published ceramic repertoires from neighboring sites, this work contributes to the broader understanding of ceramic traditions in ancient northern Israel.

Finds of Cypriot pottery from a time range of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom until the New Kingdom in the Eastern Mediterranean were the subject of several specific studies in the last decades. As part of the SCIEM 2000 project, a central topic focused on the interpretation of imported material in archaeological contexts in particular the ›first appearance‹ of wares and the value for chronological studies. I want to discuss some ideas and interpretations about the distribution and appearances of some imports. The basics are shaped by the contexts from the Second Intermediate Period and Early New Kingdom in Tell el-Dabʿa and ʿEzbet Helmi, where the largest amount of Middle and Late Bronze Age pottery from Cyprus in Egypt (up to date) was found.

Area Q yielded a considerable quantity of Cypriot Iron Age ceramics. This material is comparable to the published corpus of such imports from the Iron II strata of Megiddo (for a summary, see Arie 2013: 722–729). Yet, most items of the Area Q assemblage were recovered in a fragmentary state.
