Context (Amendments / updates)
Four unmarked scarabs were found on 17/03/2003 in a box with material from Tell el'Ajjul. The assumption was made that they were from this site and they were assigned a Z number, Z 46515. They have now been identified as 1971.47 F, I, J and K and have been matched with scarabs illustrated in Kenyon's Jericho Vol 2 publication.
