Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, September 18 (Reporter Wang Zhuolun Zhang Tianlang) Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a late Bronze Age tomb in the southern suburbs of Tel Aviv, dating back about 3,300 years.
The Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement on the 18th that the Israel Nature and Parks Authority discovered the tomb during construction in the Palmachim Beach National Park.
The tomb is square, with a pillar in the middle as support, and contains dozens of intact pottery and bronze vessels.
Pottery comes in all shapes and sizes, with deep and shallow bowls, as well as some red lacquered goblets, cooking pots, storage jars and lighting fixtures.
Archaeologists believe that these utensils were sacrifices buried with the dead, including pottery from today's Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon and other places, as well as some towns on the Mediterranean coast of Israel.
The statement said that people can use modern scientific methods to find a lot of information from the residues on the utensils, such as organic remains that are invisible to the naked eye.
The discovery of this tomb and utensils not only provides a complete picture of the funeral customs in the late Bronze Age, but also provides an important reference for archaeologists to study the international trade and social and economic development of the region at that time.
