... 183, 187, 190) in Area B. Out of the three upper grinding stones, two Four tools were found in trash pits (Loci 172, 183, 573) in Area B; the other two mill fragments were found in Area D -one inside a refuse pit (L528) and the second in a fill (L537). Five of the mills are classified as 'rectangular' or 'square hoppers' (see Frankel 2003b: 7-8, fig. 4), while the original form of the last is ...

... upper Olynthus mills were found broken, with both longitudinal and cross-width fractures. Five of the mills have 3-8 preserved ridges on their grinding surfaces, and the sixth tool (EK18) has 14 preserved ridges on the grinding surface ( Fig. 4.1). The low level of preservation interfered somewhat with determining the ridges patterns, although the pattern of tool EK18 matches the pattern of upper Olynthus mills found at sites in the southern Levant, such as Ramat Hanadiv, Gal'ed and Tel Mevorakh (see Frankel 2003b: 10, fig. 8:m-o). These sites are located within a maximum ...

... Olynthus mills have a shaped funnel, which was used to direct the grains into the central slit and, from there, to the grinding surface (see also Frankel 2003b: 5). The preservation level of three mills allows the angles of the funnels to be measured (relative to the rim); two slopes from the rim are in a 142° and 143° angle, while the third ( Fig. 4.2) slopes at a 123° angle. The latter is made of vesicular ...

... C; the third vessel was also found in the surface matrix (L9041) in Area E. Two vessels are shallow bowls with flat bases (Fig. 12.1-12.2); the rims are convex to flat-convex. Each bowl is semi-hemispherical with one preserved 'rounded knob' each, like similar basalt vessels from Late Roman contexts -e.g. Kfar Qari (see Masarwa and Barshad 2005: fig. 4). The third vessel is an upright mortar, with slightly in-curving walls and a flat base. The vessel has a concave internal base (Fig. 12.3) and a rounded ...
