IJBs dated to the Middle Bronze Age have been found at Akko, Aphek, Beth Shean, Dothan, Gezer, Hazor, Hebron, Kabri, Kamid el-Loz, Megiddo, Sidon, Taanach, Tel Dan, Tell el-Farah (N), Tell el-Ghassil, Tel Mevorakh, Tel Miqne/Ekron, Tel Qasile, Tell el-Wawiyat, and other sites in the southern Levant. In Egypt, IJBs are found at the Hyksos sites of Tell el-Maskhuta and Tell el-Daba, thus providing evidence for the Hyksos’ Canaanite roots.
