"The Base Ring"

- CONTENT -
THIS RING BASE IS A FAMILY OF CERAMIC VESSELS THAT ORIGINATED IN CYPRUS. THE TOOLS WERE MADE IN HAND. THE TOOL FAMILY BELONGS TO THE LATE BRONZE AGE, WHICH WAS A PERIOD OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE, AND THE TOOLS ARE USED AS A GUIDE TO THIS PERIOD ON ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES IN ISRAEL. THE TOOL FAMILY DOES NOT EXIST AT ANY OTHER TIME, AND FINDING IT ON A ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE IS AN INDICATION OF THE STRATUM IN WHICH TOOLS FROM THIS FAMILY WERE FOUND FOR THIS PERIOD. THIS TOOL FAMILY WAS VERY COMMON IN ISRAEL AT THIS TIME.

THE NAME OF THE FAMILY IS GIVEN BECAUSE OF THE TOOLS IN THE FORM OF A RING THAT CHARACTERIZES SOME OF THE FAMILY’S TOOLS. NOT ALL TOOLS HAVE RING BASES.

THE FAMILY IS CHARACTERIZED BY SPECIAL MATERIAL AND VERY SPECIFIC FORMS. THE TIN THIN IS HIGH QUALITY, THE MATERIAL IS POURING IN A VERY HIGH HEAT AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO GIVE THE TOOLS A EFFECT OF APPEARANCE AND METALLIC SOUND. THE COLOR OF THE CLADDING OF THE RED-COLORED TOOLS SEEN AS THE COPPER EYE.

FROM THIS FAMILY, THE FOLLOWING TOOLS WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE CANAANITES: MAINLY PIMPLES AND PAMPHLETS, BOWLS WITH A SIGH, THEY WERE FOUND IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SCARS, MUSES CALLED A TANKARD, AS WELL AS ABOMORPHIC TOOLS. THE MASSIVE IMPORT TOOK PLACE IN THE 14TH CENTURY BC AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE 13TH CENTURY BC.

THE COLLAPSE OF COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS AT THE END OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE IS EXPRESSED IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF IMPORTS IN ALL LEVANT. TOGETHER WITH THEM, THESE TOOLS ALSO DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

BILL BY BILL

THE MOST COMMON TOOLS IN THE COUNTRY FROM THIS FAMILY ARE OPPOSITES AND FAIRYTALES CALLED BILL. THEY REACH 90 PERCENT OF THIS FAMILY’S FINDS IN THE COUNTRY. THE OPPOSITES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: A BIG BILL AND A SMALL BILL. THE GREAT TRAIL IS A CIRCULAR OPPOSITE WITH A RING BASE, A RELATIVELY WIDE NECK AND A SOFT HAND FROM THE NECK TO THE SHOULDER HAS BECOME. IN THE HARRY PART OF THE UPPER-END VESSELS OF THE HANDLER IS ADVISED BY THE NECK. THE HEIGHT BECAME BETWEEN 30 AND 26 CM. IN MOST CASES, THE NECK TENDS TO HUNT. THE REASON FOR A CLEAR TENDENCY. IT IS NOT DUE TO PRODUCTION.

THE SMALL BABIL IS A CIRCULAR OPPOSITE WITH A BLEACHING NARROW NECK UP, WITH RIDGES UNDER THE TONGUE. THE HAND FROM THE NECK TO THE BODY LIES DOWN.

DEVELOPMENT WAS FOUND IN THE DECORATIONS OF THE TOOL. THE EARLIER GROUP APPEARS IN THE LATE BRONZE AGE A AND IS ALSO EXTENDED TO THE LATE BRONZE AGE IN A CHARACTER IN A PLASTIC DECORATION OF THE GLUED STRIPS ON THE VESSEL. THE LATER GROUP THAT APPEARS IN THE LATE BRONZE AGE IN THE LATE BRONZE AGE AND IS ALSO ATTRACTED TO LATE BRONZE G, IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE DECORATION OF WHITE COLOR STRIPES ON THE DARK VESSEL. THIS GROUP HAS BECOME MORE EXCITING AND LARGER THAN THE FIRST GROUP.
BECAUSE FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO APPEAR AT THE SAME TIME, THEY CANNOT BE USED AS A HOST IN THE PERIOD. A COMPLEX ON THE SITE THAT INCLUDES ONLY TOOLS FROM THE FIRST GROUP WILL GIVE A PRETTY GOOD INDICATION THAT ARE IN THE LATE BRONZE A PERIOD.

THERE IS A BELIEF IN THE STUDY OF THE TOOLS THAT TALK ABOUT THEIR USE IN RITUAL CEREMONIES, SINCE THE SHAPE OF THE “BILILE” IN REVERSE REFERS TO THE FLOWER OF OPIUM.

OTHER TOOLS
ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC TOOL FOR THIS FAMILY IS A WIDE-RANGING RING-BASE SCENE UPWARD AND BECOMES A TROUBLE TOWARDS A CYLINDER BASIS. THE BOWL HAS A HIGH HAND RISING UP IN THE FORM OF A SIGH. THE DIAMETER OF THE BOWL IS APPROXIMATELY 18-17 CM AND IS ABOUT 10 CM TALL.
IN ADDITION, ZOOMING TOOLS WERE ALSO FOUND IN ANIMAL FORM MADE OF THE MATERIAL OF THIS FAMILY WITH THE CHARACTERISTIC DECORATION OF THE FAMILY.
THE DEGRADATION FROM THIS FAMILY HAS ONE ARM THAT STARTS FROM THE NECK OF THE VESSEL AND CONNECTS TO THE VESSEL IN THE UPPER PART OF THE LENS. ANOTHER RARE TOOL FROM THIS FAMILY IS THE SPIRAL WITH A RING BASE 8-7 CM TALL.
