The Significance of Ceramic Assemblages in Chalcolithic Burial Contexts in Israel and Neighboring Regions in the Southern Levant

Abstract

The article explores the nature of Chalcolithic burial practices, in particular by a detailed consideration of the offerings which accompanied the dead. The vessels placed in the tombs are shown to be divided into two groups, some specifically identified as votive, while others belong in the context of daily life. Chalcolithic burial rites and beliefs thus revealed by archaeology are related to ethnographic records.
