Narrow base dipper juglets (NBDJ) imported from the syro-lebanese littoral to the Shephelah and the coastal plain of Israel

Abstract: Narrow Flat Base Dipper Juglets (NBDJ) were found in many excavations in Israel, as well as in the Syrian-Lebanese Littoral and Cyprus, mainly as offerings deposited in tombs. They are similar to the well-known dipper juglets, which were locally-produced juglets with sharply pointed bases....

Sumario:Abstract: Narrow Flat Base Dipper Juglets (NBDJ) were found in many excavations in Israel, as well as in the Syrian-Lebanese Littoral and Cyprus, mainly as offerings deposited in tombs. They are similar to the well-known dipper juglets, which were locally-produced juglets with sharply pointed bases. Petrographic analysis conducted on the NBDJ showed that these vessels were produced in workshops located in the Syro- Lebanese littoral, and were exported to Cyprus and the southern Levant through dynamic trade routes. The widespread distribution of NBDJ along Israel’s coastal plain indicates that these vessels were exchanged primarily in a maritime-based commerce. The NBDJ’s distribution patterns in the southern Levant are consistent with their origin of production along the Syro-Lebanese coast.
