The bulk of this corpus is taken from the 1999 edition of "Theology, History, and Archaeology in the Chronicler's Account of Hezekiah" by Andrew G. Vaughn, in which he draws upon an uncirculated Hebrew dissertation by, & personal collaboration with, Dr. Gabriel Barkay.

Note--Some publications didn't specify whether the handles from restored jars were included in some of these totals; & since the people who did the stamping were inconsistent in their patterns, a quantity of 4 handles may represent anywhere from 1 to 4 jars.  For more information on jar restoration, visit the Handle Matching page.

Note--Some of the more important sites have hyperlinks over their names, which you can click for detailed information (maps, seal-type summaries, & photos).

    • Note--Vaughn/Barkay's listing referenced VT vol. 29 #1 by Na'aman, which referenced the first handle found at Samrah, but named it Qumran; the 1st real LMLK handle found at Qumran was by R. de Vaux ("Archaeology and the Dead Sea Scrolls", 1973; G2T photo appears in "Khirbet Qumran et Ain Feshkha II", 2003 by Humbert, Gunneweg, & Lemaire); the 2nd (an H2D) was by Yitzhak Magen & Yuval Peleg ("The Qumran Excavations 1993-2004 Preliminary Report", 2007); James Strange excavated a Type 484 handle with a Plus mark, but no LMLK impression.

Edelstein.  Baruch suggests reading the inscription as HBRN, but the drawing he provided resembles ZF.
