Garstang recognized the chronological significance of this bowl and correctly dated it to the 15th century B.C.E. (“Jericho: City and Necropolis,” LAAA 21, p. 121). It is the common bowl of Ashdod stratum XVII (Moshe Dothan, Ashdod 2–3: The Second and Third Seasons of Excavations, 1963, 1965, Antiqot 9–10 [English Series, 1971], p. 81) and Hazor stratum 2 (Yadin et al., Hazor 2: An Account of the Second Season of Excavations, 1956 [Jerusalem: Magnes, 1960], p. 94; Yadin, Hazor: The Head of All Those Kingdoms, Schweich Lectures of the British Academy, 1970 [London: Oxford Univ. Press, 1972], p. 32).
