Abstract

Heavy rains exposed a Late Bronze Age IIB pit-grave in the eastern burial ground at Akhziv. Fourteen vessels, arranged in two groups, were interred along its eastern and western sides; no skeletal remains were preserved. The pottery assemblage includes bowls, juglets, jugs and jars, local and imports. Of note was a collection of lead fishing-net weights found inside one of the bowls.
