Tomb 1101-1102 at Megiddo, type of toggle-pin with a swollen or club head. Also found at Ras Shamra in graves of the Middle Ugarit I period, associated with a cup of waisted profile decorated with strait and wavy incised lines, and with fenestrated axeheads of the type mentioned above. Associated with a group expert in metallurgy.1Kenyon 1965, 158
The tombs at Ras Shamra were found in a fill underlying a temple which received offerings from Twelfth Dynasty Egypt in the 20th century BC. “A terminal date of 2000 BC is thus indicated in northern Syria.”2Kenyon 1965, 158
Another type of pin, a mushroom headed pin and a pin with a curled head were found in the shaft tombs at Megiddo. They are paralleled at Brak in a level dated to 2200 BC. 3Kenyon 1965, 159
