Scattered pits
Sporadic pottery
Bar-handled bowls
Red-slipped vessels
Perforated tripod cups
Stepped-rim cooking pots
Cyclopean masonry, partly visible
An unobtrusive jug with its neck missing
A fragment of a lunate earring
An ingot in the shape of Africa
A Ramesside scarab with an open hourglass head
A concentration of Middle Bronze sherds on the tell
A stone seal on which three figures may be dancing, their heads drilled globes
A cartouche that implies Amun is rolled by the winged beetle across the morning sky
under the protection of twin cobras
A prominent heap that may be the remains of the earthen siege ramp Joab threw up
against the city walls
A destruction layer
A number of robbed tombs
The eyes of a famous person
The glazed head of a king
