The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) recently announced the discovery of 180 inscribed jar handles from an administrative complex dating to the reign of Hezekiah, or possibly that of his father Ahaz. The team led by the IAA unearthed two administrative buildings, one constructed on top of the other. The first was in use during the last third of the eighth century BC and archaeologists discovered 17 jar handles inscribed with private names within it. In the subsequent building, many handles were discovered that bore the inscription lmlk, meaning “to the king.” The excavators have interpreted the private seals as evidence of a different form of administration prior to the destruction of the first building, which they attribute to the Assyrians.
