More Information
Summary:A large number of stone artifacts, mainly of basalt or limestone, and including grinding bowls, a mortar, pestles, lower and upper millstones, basins, miscellaneous objects and an ossuary, were recovered from all the strata of Area M1. Most of these artifacts were roughly made. Unlike the chalk vessels that are characteristic of a specific period (see Chapter 9), many of the artifacts presented here are types that were in use throughout the ages, sometimes with little if any change in shape. Therefore, they are organized according to shape and function, and whenever relevant, chronological and stratigraphic observations are included. Comparanda
