We are proud to announce a rare find from Missouri State University Religious Studies M.A. alumnus, Jared Chatfield, who is on a dig in Gezer this summer! On Friday Jared unearthed a sunken storage vessel, a whole, Iron I vessel with two handles, and with several grinding stones inside. The contents, some fine and dark soil, were collected to be studied. The vessel was probably used for storage of grain in antiquity – a rare find! (Thanks, Jared, for the photos!)
