    H2T

  1. H2T, 3:00, Sxx, 0 from a cropped & misoriented lo-res photo by Emanuel Eisenberg (originally published at this defunct link:  http://www.hebron.org.il/telrumeida/dig5.htm, but now preserved in this archive for research purposes; it is tentatively identified here as an H2T, which it most closely resembles, but it may be from a unique seal):

  2. Z2D

  3. Z2D, x:00, xxx, x from a cropped photo by Emanuel Eisenberg (originally published at this defunct link:  http://www.hebron.org.il/telrumeida/telhebronring.htm, but now at this one where it is still misrepresented as bearing a "Hevron" inscription; it probably has 1 or 2 incised Circles, but they can't be positively confirmed from this photo):
