Middle Bronze Age layers are reported: architecture, with two houses, pottery kiln and various other structures; pottery is examined in detail with chapters on fabric, forms and decoration with a comprehensive catalogue; other small finds are described as well. The first structures date from the 18th century BC and belonged to an irregularly planned open village which, in 1600 BC underwent a decided transformation, with fortifications and a deep ravine, although the settlement itself remained small and was certainly not an administrative centre. It seems that the later settlement was a dimtu settlement, which, if true, would make Tell Rijim the oldest such settlement known from the archaeological record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037895901424,"sku":"9781841710426","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841710426_p0.jpg?v=1763741739","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841710426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
