Ben-Yosef, Erez; Levy, Thomas E.; Higham, Thomas; Najjar, Mohammad; Tauxe, Lisa
- Abstract
The authors have explored the workplace and house of copper workers of the early Iron Age (twelfth to tenth century BC) in Jordan's Wadi Faynan copper ore district, showing that it belongs in time between the collapse of the great Bronze Age states and the arrival of Egyptians in the area under Sheshonq I. They attribute this production to local tribes perhaps those engaged in building the biblical kingdom of Edom.
