EGYPT

in this context — is a big fragment of
Persian-period amphora (5th-4th century
BC).
Amphorae of Gaza type 4 are very
popular, and the bulk of the forms found
belongs to the 4th through 7th centuries
AD. They were left behind presumably by

the demolition workers. Among the
residual sherds, there are two inscribed
amphora handles, both Rhodian of early
2nd century BC, and a stamped sigillata
bowl of the 1st century AD (Fig. 2). Only
six fragments of lamps were found, two of
them Late Ptolemaic.
