Ariel, Donald,T.,Sharon, Ilan, Gunneweg, Jan and Perlman, Isadore 1985, A Group of Stamped Hellenistic Storage Jar Handles from Dor, Israel Exploration Journal, 35, 135-152 Nineteen Greek stamped handles out of a total of 85 of a 'Levantine' type storage-jar registered at Tel Dor were submitted to instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) to learn where they were manufactured. They appeared within the interval 175-130 B.C.E. The analyses of local Dor pottery as well as the stamped handles were performed at the Archaeometry Unit at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The results of this study showed that the chemical compositions of the jars match statistically reference materials from the northern coastal region of Israel, regions that were once part of Phoenicia.
