"White Coastal Tools"

- CONTENT -
White Slipware is a family of ceramic vessels from Cyprus. The tools were made in hand. The first buds of this tool family have already appeared at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, but the bulk of its distribution in the Late Bronze Age, which was a period of international trade, and the tools are used as a guide to this period on the archaeological sites in Israel. Finding it on a archaeological site is an indication of the strata in which tools from this family were found for this period. This tool family was very common in Israel at this time, along with a ring-base family.

The family included a number of tools, the most common of which is a semi-ball bowl with an abdominal form (a hand that was common in Cypriot families), called the researchers " Milk Cave". Other tools in this family are beautiful and fun. One of the most characteristic tools is a unique form called "Self". The family vessels collected in the Land of Israel are not large, the diameter of the milk bowls ranges from approximately 20 to 13 cm and the octopus ranges from 12-6 cm respectively. The family vessels were created from a dark, hard grizzling material that originated in the Heodos Mountains. The tools were created in hand and were replaced with a white-colored layer. The tools were intercepted in geometric models including ladders, thick and soft models that resemble delicate tissue. The decoration did not cover the entire surface of the vessel.

These tools have been found on many sites in the Land of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, and more.

Family vessels are divided into two periods:
The Late Cypriot period I equivalent to the Late Bronze Age A – which characterizes this period is a meticulous and refined design in brown and red colors and brilliant tools.
The Late Cypriot II period is equivalent to the Late Bronze Age in the tool from this period is less rigorous, and the design is fragmented.
