90 NEAR EASTERN ARCHAEOLOGY 82.2 (2019) A magnificent new jewelry hoard was uncovered on July 11, 2010 in Area H of the northwestern sector of Tel Megiddo. This site in the Jezreel Valley (Israel) is one of the most important in the southern Levant thanks to four archaeological expeditions that have thoroughly excavated the mound and rapidly published the results of their digs (Ussishkin 2018). All expeditions unearthed hoards of different types from the Late Bronze and Iron Ages (Hall 2016). This new hoard was unearthed in a destruction debris, securely dated to the Early Iron Age I, ca. 1070 BCE (local Level H-11, which equals University of Chicago’s Stratum VIIA). During this period, part of a building (remnants of two rooms and an inner courtyard surrounded by three large open courtyards) was found in this area (figs. 1–2; Finkelstein et al. 2017: 267–69). The building is positioned only about 30 m from Canaanite Palace 2041 of the city of Stratum VIIA. This article offers a preliminary publication of the hoard; a full report will soon be published in the Megiddo VI volume (Arie forthcoming a). Te hoard was discovered in a rather small strainer jug (also known as a beer jug), the neck and spout of which were cut. Te jug was positioned in a pottery bowl, and a second bowl was turned upside down on top of the jug (fgs. 3–4). Tese three vessels were situated in the northeastern corner of a rather small inner courtyard between two walls (fgs. 1–3). Tis courtyard was paved with fagstones, and hence there is no doubt that the hoard was located above the foor.
