Cypriote Imitations of Tell el-Yahudiyeh Ware from Toumba tou Skourou
1978
Overview
A series of Tell el-Yahudiyeh juglets found at Toumba tou Skourou in northwest Cyprus are to be dated, according to their context, to the initial phase of Late Cypriote I. Juglets of this non-Cypriote type have been previously recorded from other sites in Cyprus, mainly in the southeastern part of the island. Archaeological evidence indicates that Tell el-Yahudiyeh juglets were manufactured in the Levant and Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period and therefore the imported vessels found in Cyprus can hardly extend beyond the Middle Bronze Age. Typological study of the Toumba tou Skourou juglets together with related specimens discovered in the neighboring cemeteries of Stephania and Pendayia reveals that shape and decoration of imported Tell el-Yahudiyeh Ware were locally adapted to the style and technique of Black Slip III and other Cypriote wares. These imitations took place in Cyprus at the opening of the Late Cypriote period because the Syro-Palestinian and Egyptian vessels ceased to be imported into the island at the close of the Middle Cypriote period.
