The main objective of this work is to elucidate the practices involved in the earliest known tin mining and metal processing in the Near East. The NAA results indicated that the Micaceous ware and Burnished ware are geochemically related and were probably manufactured with the same clays that were used for the production of the crucibles.
Metallic ware clearly represents a unique source group.
