| Summary: | Using the recent full publication of the Kenyon excavations at Jericho and evidence from two occupation phases at Tell Iktanu, a relative sequence is proposed. It seems likely that the EB III town at Jericho was destroyed near the end of EB III and that the establishment of the Iktanu settlement is almost contemporary with this event. Kenyon's "squatter phase" on the Jericho tell may coincide with the use of the more distant parts of the cemetery, in particular with some of the Outsize and Dagger type tombs, but there is largely a gap in the architectural and ceramic record on the tell. Distinctive ceramic types are common to Iktanu Phase 1 and the cemetery, and many EB III traditions are visible. When the Jericho tell was reoccupied with an unfortified village, probably late in the lifetime of Iktanu, the areas nearer the tell were also used for burial and some of the Early Bronze Age traditions had died out. |
