The discovery of an Iron Age basalt vessel workshop at Tel Hazor revealed numerous discarded preforms in different production stages. Provenance analyses allow us to reconstruct the vessels' journey from the mining of raw material off site to production in the workshop. To determine the extraction sites, the geochemical compositions of the artifacts were compared to an extensive set of geochemical data on basaltic rocks in Israel. Combined with petrographic features and insights from field surveys on the relevant locations, the results show that the raw material was extracted most probably from two different locations, each several kilometres distant from Tel Hazor.

来自以色列 Tel Hazor 的铁器时代研讨会的玄武岩容器预制件的地球化学来源研究以及潜在的地质来源

在 Tel Hazor 发现的铁器时代玄武岩容器车间揭示了不同生产阶段的大量废弃预制件。来源分析使我们能够重建船只从场外开采原材料到车间生产的旅程。为了确定提取地点，将人工制品的地球化学成分与以色列玄武岩的大量地球化学数据进行了比较。结合岩相学特征和对相关地点的实地调查的见解，结果表明，原材料很可能是从两个不同的地点提取的，每个地点都距离 Tel Hazor 几公里。
