Abstract:
Twenty ceramic ring-shaped stands came to light during the archaeological excavation of Khirbet el-Maqatir in the central highlands of Israel. The ring stands functioned as pedestals for round or conical vessels. Four of the twenty stands remained mostly intact and contained inscriptions. One of these stands included an inscribed word, two stands preserved a letter of the Hebrew or Aramaic alphabet, and another stand featured an incision. The stands dated to the early Roman period. At that time, ritually observant Jews occupied Khirbet el-Maqatir, a fortified village 16 kilometers north of Jerusalem. Khirbet el-Maqatir fell to the Romans in approximately 69 CE, during the First Jewish Revolt.
