An Omega-type scarab was found in Pit 204, the largest and best-preserved tomb in the cemetery unearthed in Ashqelon. It was found near a fragmentary skull and several bones of a young woman, together with a large assemblage of carefully positioned pottery vessels. The Omega-type scarabs are believed to have been produced in the Southern Levant in early Middle Bronze Age II (c. 1700–1640 BCE).
