Abstract
This report presents the results of survey and excavation at al-Moghraqa, in the vicinity of the Wadi Gaza. The objective of fieldwork was to establish the date of the site, the nature of its occupation and in particular the context and function of the terracotta cones previously recovered at the site in 1996. The stratigraphic sequence is published, demonstrating that the main period of occupation of al-Moghraqa spans the Middle Bronze II period and is contemporary with the nearby settlement of Tell al-'Ajjul. This paper includes the final report on the pottery and the small finds. There is also a report on the geomorphology of the region around the mouth of the Wadi Gaza.
