Supplementary Notes

Trench 20: 15 b-c (cont.) "two deep pits. . . unused: tombs near it". A similar effort has been noted in Area C (see page 000). A wave of building activity has been noted in both Areas A and E at the beginning of the L C III A period. One is obliged to assume that for some reason the community made a "fresh start" after some sort of catastrophe;2 and that catastrophe may well have been the earthquake postulated by Daniel (see p. 000).

2 This would also explain why the LC III C period is rather difficult to define in both areas.
