... that terracotta cones found at al-Moghraqa in Palestine are unique in the region but resemble artefacts from Ancient Egypt?

Source: "These artefacts are unique amongst the cultural assemblages of the Levant and are most closely paralleled by Egyptian funerary cones of the Eighteenth Dynasty from Thebes": Steel, Louise; Manley, Bill; Clarke, Joanne; Sadeq, Moain (2004b).

Date, size, refs, hook, neutrality, QPQ, etc. all GTG. Would be nice to add a picture to the article, but that's not a DYK concern. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion - I don't recall a photo of the site in any of the papers, but there were at least drawings of the cones. As they'll be under fair use that's (I assume) not suitable for DYK but could still be useful for the article. I'll look into it. Richard Nevell (talk) 20:59, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
