Chemical Study of Basaltic Hopper-Rubber (Olynthus) Mills from Naḥal Tut and ‘En Hofez (pp. 197–200)
Abstract
Four basalt stones of hopper-rubber (Olynthus) mills were sampled for chemical analysis; two were found at Naḥal Tut and two, from ‘En Hofez. All were dated on the basis of stratigraphy to the second half of the fourth century BCE. The chemical examination established that the millstones from Naḥal Tut were manufactured in the area of Nisyros, in the Aegean region.
