Abstract
A salvage excavation conducted at the site of orvat Shimon in the western Sephelah uncovered a rural site dating to the 8th century BCe. The excavation revealed a unique mudbrick structure that contained a rich pottery assemblage with typical wheel-made pottery alongside a large quantity of handmade vessels similar to 'Negebite vessels'. The discovery of this assemblage of handmade vessels calls into question existing interpretations of the importance of this family. The paper suggests that the 'Negebite vessels' were not a regional phenomenon, but rather a functional product of rural life.
