| Summary: | Over a period of several months from October 1975, a large group of bullae reached the antiquities market. These were described by Avigad in 1986 as a single assemblage of Hebrew bullae from the time of Jeremiah. In a separate line of work, Judaean names of the First Temple period were recently found to have a specific distribution of theophoric elements that distinguishes them as a group from other regions. This study found that the names on the unprovenanced hoard of bullae from the time of Jeremiah show a very similar distribution of theophoric elements. This similarity not only supports the Judaean origin of the hoard of bullae, but also suggests that it originated in Jerusalem. |
