Abstract:

Mycenaean IIIA and IIIB pottery found in the beehive-shaped Tomb 387 at Laish/Dan and in the rectangular tombs at Akko, in northern Canaan, were subjected to instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) to learn where they were manufactured. We were able to test the hypothesis that the differences in architectural layout of the tombs corresponded to a different provenance of the Mycenaean pottery. Furthermore, a trial was undertaken to interpret the function of the graves in the light of the new evidence. Copyright 1999 Academic Press
