Location:
Ekron
Description:
Ekron was located in a major olive oil producing area. At its peak, the area supplied a high proportion of all the olive oil used in the region, much of it being shipped overseas. The jars were transported in ships, with the pointed bottoms placed in gravel. They were held upright by poles thrust through the loop handles.
