Abstract
Three Babylonian period stamp impressions were found in the Babylonian-Persian Pit. Two of them (stamp impressions 9765/1 and 9626/1) are identical and both were found along with a lion stamp impression on the body or shoulder of the same storage jar.¹ A third (9646/1) is indecipherable. Details of the three impressions are provided here. The paleographic and epigraphic discussion, the onomastic and lexical analysis, and the conclusions pertain to the first two stamp impressions. The chapter concludes with a general discussion of Aramaic paleography of the Imperial period in light of the “private” stamp impressions from the Babylonian-Persian Pit.
