Beads, Bangles, and Bowls in Iron Age Judah, Or, Tchotckes Make the Man (and Woman)
from This Week in the Ancient Near East · host thisweekintheancientneareast
New research on Iron Age Judah has us asking questions, specifically about tchotckes. Just how elite does having an alabaster bowl make you as opposed to say, a bead? How about after you were pummeled by Assyrians? What was flair in the Iron Age anyway? Was fifteen the minimum? Brian, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.
