Abstract During the 1997 season at Tell el-Ghaba, a group of vessels was noticed in a dune. It was partially uncovered and its location was far north from the place we were actually excavating (see general plan in Plan I). That part of the site had been recently disturbed by bulldozers.239239 Since the deposit was found in a dune without any association to archaeological features, its chronology seems to be uncertain. Vessels were compared to similar ones recovered from archaeological sites in Egypt and those that could be dated correspond to the late Roman and early Islamic periods
