In a recent paper, Matthew J. Adams argued that the Egyptianized pottery cache discovered in the renewed excavations at Megiddo is a foundation deposit in Egyptian character of Megaron Temple 4040. This conclusion is partly based on his analysis of the stratigraphy of Area J (University of Chicago’s Area BB). The present response argues (1) that the stratigraphic conclusions made at the time by the excavators rather than those of Adams are correct, and (2) that the cache is not a foundation deposit.

来自米吉多的埃及化陶罐是否是 Megaron Temple 4040 的地基存款？对 Matthew J. Adams 的回应

在最近的一篇论文中，Matthew J. Adams 认为，在 Megiddo 重新挖掘中发现的埃及化陶器藏品是具有埃及特征的 Megaron Temple 4040 的基础沉积物。这一结论部分基于他对 J 区地层的分析（大学芝加哥 BB 区）。目前的答复认为 (1) 当时由挖掘机而不是 Adams 得出的地层结论是正确的，以及 (2) 地层不是基础矿床。
