Potsherds from Israel Picked up on Location
 

These are some of the potsherds picked up at various locations in Israel by Galyn.
 
Handles from Beth Shan.  The dark handle is from a basalt cooking utensil and shows a Jewish presence in the city.  If a clay cooking pot became unclean it had to be smashed.  But a stone pot, such as the dark handled piece, could simply be purified in water to be reused if it became unclean.
