A Re-examination of Stamped Handles from Tell Beit Mirsim, Bethel, and Tell el-Ful

American Schools of Oriental Research 1998


There are some fifty-five stamped or incised handles from excavations at Tell Beit Mirsim, Bethel, Tell el-Ful, and other sites in the collection of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary's Bible Lands Museum. Many of these handles, ranging in date from the Middle Bronze to Hellenistic periods have not been examined since their publication, and others have not been published yet . This collection includes several types of Iron II handles, such as LMLK, circle-stamped, rosette, and several incised with X's or crosses.

There have been some recent studies of similar handles from other sites. A reexamination of these handles should add to our understanding of the use and distribution of such stamps and incised marks.
