Les Bols élaborés au tour d'Abu Hamid : rupture technique au 4e millénaire avant J.-C. dans le Levant-Sud.

Abstract

In the Southern Levant, during the 4th millennium ВС, a new morpho-technical ceramic type appears : the bowls with a « V » profile. These bowls are present in the upper levels of the site of Abu Hamid. A technological analysis, both of surface features and microfabrics, has enabled us to reconstruct the manufacturing process, to identify centres of production and to propose hypotheses about their function. The bowls with a «V» profile were shaped on the wheel. The ones from Abu Hamid came from remote production centres, some in the Negev. Their function seems to have been cultual. Their distribution could reflect the emergence of a vast politico- cultic community in the Southern Levant at the beginning of the 4th millennium ВС.
