Abstract
Fifteen pottery vessels from the Middle Bronze Age II burial pits exposed at Ashqelon were chosen for petrographic analysis. Most of the vessels were made from local soils found in the vicinity of the site. A single amphora originated in Cyprus. Some of the vessels (Group B) might have been imported from Egypt.
