Abstract
The application of provenience analysis to the delineation of zones of economic interaction is considered for the Middle Bronze IIa period in the southern Levant. Preliminary petrographic analysis of ceramic finds from Tel Nami, a small port with substantial East Mediterranean contacts, is consistent with local coastal production, with possible utilization of nearby igneous sources. The petrography of storage jars containing imported Aegean legumes is consistent with local typology and geology.
