Petrographical Analysis of the Persian-Period Ceramic Assemblage from Tel Ya‘oz (Hebrew, pp. 39*–44*; English summary, pp. 204–205)

Thirty-nine samples of Persian-period wares were selected for analysis, and five petrographic groups were identified. The overwhelming majority of the assemblage was of non-local provenance. Several ranges of import were discerned, and it seems that the import-trade-exchange patterns at the site were oriented overseas or toward the Phoenician coast.
