Abstract
The excavations that were conducted at Khirbet Yattir by Hanan Eshel, Jodi Magness and Eli Shenhav revealed important finds dating to the Byzantine and Early Arab Periods, including, inter alia, remains of a large village with two churches, one of which had a unique, inscribed mosaic. This chapter is based on finds of an excavation that was co-directed by Eshel, and which deals with an interesting, and hitherto un-noticed phenomenon relating to late Iron Age, per-exilic Judah. Four cooking pot handles with stamped impressions and one with a finger impression were discovered at Khirbet Yatti. Of the four examples with stamped impressions, only three could be classified as belonging to specific types of late Iron Age cooking pots; in the case of the fourth example this was not possible, since only the handle itself was recovered, without other parts of the vessel. Keywords:Judean cooking pots; Khirbet Yattir; late Iron Age; stamped impressions
