The Carinated Bowl from the Middle Bronze
Age (2000-1550 B.C.) is so named for its
sharply angling shoulder, which resembles the
keel of a ship (Latin "carina"). It is typical of the
age of the Patriarchs, a period of refinement in
pottery vessels, when it was used to hold both
food and beverages.
The original vessel was found in Megiddo,
situated on the path from Egypt (Africa) to
Mesopotamia (Asia). Excavations in the city
revealed twenty layers of continuous
occupation. It was conquered by King David in
the 10th century B.C. and became known for its
horses and chariotmen during the reign of King
Solomon.
Such a bowl can be seen today in the Bible
Lands Museum in Jerusalem.
