This complete bowl has a simple shape with a straight rim and rounded bottom. It bears two horizontally incised lines and a single handle, placed horizontally, in the shape of an ear. This small container was likely used to process food in the kitchen as it bears fire marks.

Discovered during the excavation of a group of domestic habitats associated with shell processing areas, the bowl is dated by Carbon-14 to the late 2nd millennium (1531-1131 BCE).
