This study was undertaken because collared-rim jars found at Laish/Dan, have been considered an Israelite hallmark. It was hoped to gain some insight into the movement of the Israelite tribe of the Danites as they moved from the central west, where they had dwelled before, to the north of Canaan by tracing the collared-rim jars of Laish/Dan to the west of Canaan. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) showed that of the 22 jars which have been analyzed from Laish/Dan, none was imported from the Danites' previous location in the west of Canaan. On the contrary, the jars were locally made at Laish/Dan, while some others seem to point to manufacturing centers to the east or north of Canaan. Three other jars, found in littoral Canaan, had also their origin in coastal sites of Canaan. From the chemical compositions, it was concluded that the collared-rim jar was a product of tribal manufacture, as corroborated by the distribution patterns of the jars, as well as their typological differences within their family.
