Description
Summary:The debate regarding the periodical attribution of the Khirbet Qeiyafa pottery assemblage to the Iron Age I or IIA is still ongoing. In a recent issue of this journal, Kang (2015) responded to an earlier article published by me (Singer-Avitz 2012) and attributed this assemblage to a transitional Iron I–IIA period. Despite this conclusion, he suggested that the site's original dating to the Iron IIA should be maintained. In the current paper, I shall briefly address some of Kang's statements and discuss the notion of 'transitional period'.
