          These are some of the potsherds picked up at various locations in Israel by Galyn.  | 
      
        |  |  
          Handles from Beth Shan.  The dark handle is from a basalt cooking utensil and shows a Jewish presence in the city.   
          If a clay cooking pot became unclean it had to be smashed.  But a stone pot, such as the dark handled piece,  
          could simply be purified in water to be reused if it became unclean. | 
      
        |  |  
          A handle from the site of the old Canaanite palace in Hazor that was destroyed and burnt by Joshua. |
