“…Gazelles are the most common wild taxon and mammal as they are more than quadruple the numerically closest other taxon (fallow deer). The high frequency of gazelles is a pattern not clearly seen in other large urban EB III settlements in the region, such as Halif and Tel Yarmuth (Davis 1988;Seger et al 1990). …”

“…While this taxonomic distribution is similar to that found at contemporary sites, the frequency of goats stands out as different. Most comparative analyses suggest that sheep are more frequent, although there is some variation from EB I to EB III assemblages (e.g., Horwitz and Tchernov 1989, Table 3; Seger et al 1990). …”

“…The site, which lies 28km southeast of Tel Erani, was excavated by several expeditions and is a part of the regional Nahal Tillah Project (Levy et al 1997). During the works led by Seger in 1983-87 (Seger et al 1990) scholars unearthed some architectural remains with substantial Egyptian pottery produced locally, both storage and kitchenware. Detailed studies made by Dessel (1991) discerned ten ware types.…”

Egyptian vats and bread molds from the Early Bronze IB2 period are found in abundance on numerous sites in Southern Levant. During that time many groups of Egyptians settled across Canaanean towns and villages, which the archaeological material proves. The presence of kitchenware proves that they preserved their culinary traditions and still used this characteristic type of vessel. The latest excavations at Tel Erani (2013- 2018) resulted in finds of significant amounts of kitchenware concentrated around one building, as well as some hearths and flint tools, which relates well with this theory and suggests that a group of Egyptians indeed lived there among the local population during the end of the Early Bronze I period.

Dedicated to the memory of Pirhiya BeckRecent excavations in a cemetery at Ain Assawir at the western end of the ClIron (Megiddo) Pass, Israel, have uncovered a number of cave tombs dating to the Early Bronze Age. Replete with grave goods of local origin, these sepulchers have also yielded a handful of imported artifacts within deposits that date to chronological ranges within the latter part of Early Bronze L Included are a number of Egyptian ceramic imports as well as vessels of local origin fashioned in imitation of Egyptian morphological types. In addition, one tomb yielded two ceramic vessels derived from neighboring regions in northern Syria and southern Anatolia. For the present, such imports from the north are unique finds within the south Levantine cultural sphere in this time span. This paper examines the likely sources for these northern imports, the chronological information they impart, and some of the sociocultural implications that may be interpreted from them.(1970), who excavated one EB I tomb. The caves discovered (Yannai and Horowitz 1999) are somewhat capacious chambers intended as repositories for bones of multiple, successive burials, a custom well known from the archaeological record of these cultural horizons (e.g., Kenyon 1960: 1-179; 1965: 3-32). Accordingly, the assemblages derived from the Assawir tombs represent chronological ranges of utilization.Replete with grave goods, these tombs yielded hundreds of ceramic vessels, beads, and copper implements, including weapons. Two tombs, numbered 3 and 20, respectively, are of special interest because they included nonlocal type ceramic vessels that show clear association with foreign cultures. The stratigraphic ascription of these imports within the tombs, together with chronological information they convey, offer some new insights into relationships of the EB I cultural horizon of the southern Levant with distant, neighboring regions in Egypt and southern Anatolia. Evidence for these correlations is reviewed below. 1Esur is the Hebrew name for the site.
