Cf. Amiran, R., Ancient Pottery of the Holy Land, Jerusalem, 1963, p.78, for a similar jar from Megiddo, Early Bronze IV Period (2300-2000 B.C.), and photo 86 (jar from El-Uusn, Middle Bronze I Period, 2000-1500 B.C.).
FootnotesWhile the spherical shape of jars appears already in the Early Bronze IV Period (pottery from associated tombs in Megiddo), with the coming of the Middle Bronze Age the barrel-shaped jar of the Northern Group of Holy Land pottery shows a preference for the spherical forms.
