The Petrographic Study of the Pottery Assemblage from Naḥal Tsafit and Its Implications for Chalcolithic Copper Production Systems

| Итог: | Petrographic analysis of ceramics from the Naḥal Tsafit (ca. 4000 b.c.e.) campsite located in the Rotem Plain of the eastern Negev reflects pottery origins both in the Hebron Hills and environs, and most notably in the Faynan region. Attributed to the Chalcolithic Middle Timnian pastoral culture, mostly in deserts and contemporary with the Ghassulian culture, the analysis indicates connections to the copper source region in Faynan. Given the nomadic nature of the site, the absence of Ghassulian remains in Faynan, and the location of Naḥal Tsafit between Faynan and the Mediterranean subhumid climatic zone, the role of nomads as prime players in the Chalcolithic copper trade is suggested. |
