BAG-SHAPED JARS (Type R- SJ3 )

Description: Storage jar with ovoid body narrowing toward :the bottom, ending in a convex base, round shoulders, two ridged handles attached from shoulders, out-folded ridged and flattened rim covering the entire neck surface . Occurrence: Maresha, third-second century BCE (Levine 2003:97-98; fig. 6.8:83) and first century BCE (Kloner and Hess 1985: 130, fig 4.9.Similar types, were found only in Maresha and there, were dated from the third century BC. Storage jars with collared rim appear in contexts of the first century BCE, such as Jericho (Bar-Nathan 2002:29-30) and they seem to be characteristic of the period.
