The rare inscription is the first dating back to the time of the biblical Judges and relating to the Book of Judges to be unearthed in the excavations conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Macquarie University, Sydney. It dates from around 1,100 BCE, bearing the name "Jerubbaal" inscribed in Canaanite alphabetic script, written in ink on a pottery vessel and found inside a storage pit that was dug into the ground and lined with stones.
