Abstract

A petrographic analysis was undertaken to determine the source of the raw materials used in the production of the Intermediate Bronze Age Black Wheel-Made Ware (BWMW) vessels retrieved from a burial cave west of Tel Hazor. The BWMW repertoire is limited to goblets, cups, jars, kraters, teapots and bottles; its distribution seems to be largely restricted to northern Israel, particularly to the Hula Valley. The aims of this study were to identify the raw materials that were used to manufacture the selected vessels, determine their geological sources and assess possible geographic regions of manufacture.
