Substantial ceramic and architectural remains attributable to the
Late Bronze Age were excavated in Field XIII in 1968 by the
Drew-McCormick Expedition. The Late Bronze Age sequence spanning
the Late Bronze I, IIA, and IIB contains ceramics from occupational
contexts and also from a cache of 850 restorable and complete
vessels from a Basement Chamber sealed below destruction debris.
This analysis provides data on the ceramic typological development
and the technological processes or chaine operatoire at a Northern
Hill Country site. While mostly domestic in nature, the ceramic
assemblage also comprises imported Cypriot White Slip and Base Ring
Wares that place the territorial kingdom, governed by the ambitious
ruler Lab'ayu, within a wider regional trade system encompassing
the Dothan-Jezreel and Beth Shean Valley routes. The findings from
this investigation align with recent scholarship that shows the
early Late Bronze I was defined by contracted settlement over a
protracted period of time, in contrast to the architectural and
ceramic complexity exhibited in the Late Bronze IIA, and to a
limited extent in the Late Bronze IIB. This report continues the
effort to publish the excavation findings from ten seasons of
excavations spanning 1957 to 1972 and originally led by Expedition
Director G. Ernest Wright. 33 b&w illustrations and 33 tables.
