(pp. 79–81)

Keywords: pottery kiln, geology, soil groups
Seven vessels retrieved from inside the Middle Bronze Age II kiln at Tel Malot were sampled and petrographically studied. The significance of conducting a petrographic analysis of pottery found in a kiln lies in the reference data it provides concerning local production. The analysis of the potsherds from the MB II kiln at Tel Malot indicates that the raw materials were obtained locally.
