Israel antiquities authority discovers ivory vessel in Beersheba: The discovery provides evidence of ties between this region and Egypt in the Chalcolithic ...
jpost.com/science/article-796098
Quick Glance: IAA Unearths Ancient Ivory Vessel in Beersheba
- The findings confirm close connections between the region and Egypt during the Chalcolithic period.
- An ivory vessel made from an elephant tusk was discovered near Beersheba in an excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), serving as evidence of the ties between the region and Egypt dating back to the Chalcolithic period (around 4500 to 3500 BCE).
- Uncovering an ancient settlement with underground spaces in the rich, dust-like loess soil, the IAA excavation at Horbat Raqiq revealed three impressive vessels intentionally arranged in a specific manner. One vessel had been broken in antiquity and deliberately buried.
- Crafted from an elephant tusk, the vessel underwent highly intricate conservation and restoration processes to maintain its authenticity and historical significance. This discovery enhances our understanding of the Chalcolithic period and the cultural exchange relationships of the region with neighboring and distant cultures.
