  • In April 2020, a small square-shaped clay object, possibly a docket, was found on the surface of Tell Jemmeh. The object bears an image of a soldier leading a bound naked captive, a rare motif in the iconography of the Southern Levant. By comparing and contrasting ancient Near Eastern parallels, this study suggests a Late Bronze Age date for the object, thus placing it in the geopolitical reality of that period.
