The Early Bronze Age Site of Me‘ona in the Western Galilee (Hellenistic Amphora Fragments, by Gerald Finkielsztejn) (pp. 1–15)

This Early Bronze Age site is mostly covered by the modern cemetery of Moshav Me‘ona in the western Galilee. Soundings conducted at the site revealed a considerable quantity of artifacts, mostly potsherds, but also flint, a basalt bowl and a bone cylinder, dating to Early Bronze Age I and II. The pottery types in the assemblage suggest that the western Galilee is a region with distinct ceramic styles in EB I. The site seems to have been abandoned at the end of EB II, as there is no sign of activity in EB III. Later, in the Hellenistic and Roman–Byzantine periods, it was utilized for agricultural purposes.
