Description
This chapter presents pottery groups that have not been included before in the Canaanite-Phoenician corpus: Late Bronze Age Red Lustrous Wheel-Made Pottery (RLWm), small jars of Hittite form that were introduced into the Canaanite-Phoenician corpus in the late Middle Bronze Age-early Late Bronze I Age, and bent bottles. The first two groups had direct connections to the Canaanite-Phoenician trade networks.
