摘要
A unique mudbrick installation with a plastered double basin on its top was uncovered in the latest Iron I stratum (A2) at Tel Abel Beth Maacah (Tell Abil el-Qamh), a large site in the northern Hula Valley, Israel. The installation was discovered in a unit that was part of a large, elaborate public complex with an exceptional architectural plan, located in the centre of the site. The installation under discussion appears with other features that bear cultic associations, along with some that can be considered mundane. This article presents the context, focusing on the installation by itself and in tandem with the other features, with the goal of exploring the possible cultic function of this space and of the unit as a whole.
