17. How do pottery types date the strata from which
they are unearthed? Suppose workers discover a
cooking pot with relatively straight sides, a row of
holes just below the rim, and a rope decoration
below the holes. According to pottery typology, this
kind of vessel was dominant in the Middle Bronze
Age (c. 2000-1500 B.C.; Laughlin, 1992, 18[5]:73).
Thus, if a sufficient amount of such vessels is found
in a level of a tell, an archaeologist will date the
stratum between the years 2000-1500 B.C.

26. COINS
Coins first were used by the Greeks,
although metal in some form was used
earlier in many other parts of the ancient
world to purchase goods or services. The
first coins were used in the Lydian kingdom,
in the area of eastern Turkey, and soon
spread to other parts of the Greek world,
then beyond to other cultures and realms.
