The significance of this inscription lies in the fact that it documents, and is contemporaneous with, the plague (Black Death) which afflicted the population in the year 1363 ce (765 ah) during the Mameluke period. An additional point of interest is that the author of the inscription has written a votive prayer and a pious poem plagiarized from another Arabic poem with some small changes in the wording.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45186416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When mentioning Wild Goat Style (p. 207), it would have been informative for the readers to note that this ware was first named by E.A. Gardner in the 1880’s based on finds from Naukratis in Egypt. Since the 2000s, there is an ongoing debate on the terminology (and the provenience) of this East Greek ware, see Weber, S., ‘The Greek Painted Pottery from Tell Dafana’, in: Leclère and Spencer 2014, 119 with references. 2. For the so-called Achaemenid bowls (attested both in metal and ceramic), L.P.O.17, one should add that these were found by Petrie in Tell Dafana (see Colburn 2020, 213 with references); references to recent work at this important site are missing and excellent contributions about imported amphorae (including petrographic and chemical analyses) and East Greek fine ware (see note 1) should have been included as comparative material (Leclère and Spencer 2014). 3. The work by Victoria Yarmolovich on the foreign influence of some of the shapes from Kom Tuman is not fully cited, an article from 2019 is missing (Yarmolovich and Chepel 2019). Regrettable is that the nomenclature of the ceramic typology and the fabrics in this article, dealing with the same material from the same mission, is completely different to the present volume. 4. An excellent example how early researchers, in this case W.M.F. Petrie, were misled in interpretating Late Period remains because of a too strong focus on Herodotus and the aim to find a reflection of his description in the archaeological remains can be found in the reassessment of the site of Tell Dafana, see Leclère and Spencer 2014.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":"154 1","pages":"72 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44154103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cemetery is situated c 50 m east of the main tell. Nami was a focal point of trade linking a north–south maritime trade route with an east–west terrestrial one. The settlement was dated by excavations to the Middle Bronze Age IIa and the LB IIb–c, the last of the 13th and early 12th centuries bce. Among the numerous finds in the LB IIc Nami necropolis, were a number of the ceramic shape named alabastron, or pyxis. They are not homogenous in shape, size, ware and decoration. Neutron Activation Analysis and Petrographic analyses of the ware established that they also do not share provenance. While the earliest appearance of the shape was in the Aegean, eventually a small version of the pyxis became more common in the southern Levant’s necropoleis, and is found at Nami, where it was placed near the crania in burials. The analyses carried out on samples from the cemetery of Nami, showed that some of the pyxides were produced in the vicinity of the site, or in the general area. Others, however, were imported from Transjordan. Those include examples of plain and decorated ones.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42192312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
