The present article uses relevant biblical and archaeological data to clarify the form and function of these stands. In addition, it discusses the implications of the document for the study of bronzeworking and of the connections between
Ugarit and Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age."

The architecture and the artifacts of Sanctuary 49 and of the additional cultic remains in its vicinity are re-evaluated,
and the recently proposed revision of the excavator’s stratigraphic conclusions is critically assessed. The article delineates the rich cultural background and the region-specific features of the evolving Judahite cult and ritual practices as
revealed at Lachish.

Several mortaria are examined by Thin Section Petrographic Analysis, and the previous studies of Iron Age II and Persian period mortaria are reviewed in light of its results. It is argued that Cyprus was the main production centre of mortaria imported to the southern Levant and discusses the significance of these vessels
within the framework of late Iron Age eastern Mediterranean international trade.
