An Iron Age Pottery Assemblage from Underground Chambers at Jatt (Tel Gat)
(Hebrew, pp. 1*–7*; English summary, p. 195)

Keywords: Sharon, typology
Pottery vessels dating to Iron Age II were recovered from four underground units. They belong to a single ceramic assemblage, comprising bowls, kraters, cooking pots, jars, a jug and a lamp, indicating that they originated in dwellings. The vessels are characteristic of the northern coastal plain, dating primarily to the second half of the tenth–beginning of the ninth centuries BCE. This small-scale excavation sheds light on this early phase of occupation at Tell Jatt. The purpose of the underground units was not determined.
