The pottery of Edom : a correction
Abstract: This article deals with several claims recently made by Levy et al.1 regarding pottery from Edom and sites in the Negev. Building their argument on two assumptions—that Khirbet en-Nahas constitutes part of Edom and that the fortress there dates to the 10th century BCE—they maintain that...

Abstract: This article deals with several claims recently made by Levy et al.1 regarding pottery
from Edom and sites in the Negev. Building their argument on two assumptions—that
Khirbet en-Nahas constitutes part of Edom and that the fortress there dates to the 10th
century BCE—they maintain that sites on the Edomite plateau had been dated to the
late 7th–6th centuries BCE based on a single find—the seal impression carrying the
inscription “Qos Gabr king of Edom”—and hint that this pottery should in fact be
dated earlier. And based on the architectural similarity between the fortress at Khirbet
en-Nahas and the fortresses of Tell el-Kheleifeh at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba and
of En HaÐeva in the western Arabah south of the Dead Sea, they date the latter two
to the 10th century BCE, several centuries earlier than the broadly-accepted date in
the Iron IIB/C. In this article we take issue with these claims. We show that dating
the sites on the Edomite plateau to the late 8th-to-early 6th centuries BCE is backed by
meticulous comparison to well-stratified and dated sites in southern Judah. We also
show that the fortresses of Tell el-Kheleifeh and En HaÐeva cannot be dated earlier
than the late 8th century. We then deal with the reasons for Levy et al.’s errors. |
