NOTES

1. I include this site with some misgivings. What little material comes from here is not, apparently, diagnostic. Wijngaarden [1999] seems to have had his own doubts. He uses list item no. 107 'T. Aron' on p. 383 in Gregori and Palumbo [1986] as his source. Gregori and Palumbo give no further information about this Tell. I cannot be certain that their 'T. Aron' is the same as the Be'er Aharon of the Digital Archaeological Atlas of the Holy Land.

2. 'Sherds?'
