| Summary: | The analysis of material recovered by flotation has the potential to produce considerable information concerning patterned human activities. Several problems relating to significant differences in quantities and types of material culture and other human debris are examined within the framework of differing archaeological contexts and periods at Tell Ashkelon, Israel. In particular, debris analyzed from two types of living surfaces at the site-a Persian-period courtyard and a room in a Philistine building-provide evidence for sharply defined domestic and industrial activities. Taken together, these analyses demonstrate the utility of flotation as a method for more precise understanding of specific archaeological strata. |
