Abstract
The twin deposits b (nn. 2309-2321) and c (nn. 2285-2308) of the Baˈalat Gebal temple were retrieve in room E of bâtiment II, nearby dépôts a, better known as the Montet Jar. Unlike their most renowned neighbour, the two deposits have never been fully studied, but include a vast array of artifacts useful for shedding new light on the relationship between Byblos and Egypt in the Middle Bronze Age I (2000-1850 BC). Through a preliminary analysis, based on the published material, the paper aims at answering four main questions: the place of production of the objects; the dating of the deposits; the type of deposition; and if there is a correlation between dépôts c and b and the other deposits found in the same archaeological context (the Montet Jar and dépôt d).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
