Where it stands

No answers have been proposed yet.

Why it matters

Colless and Garbini enlarge the corpus with objects from other sites and Mäder lists 28 tentatively assigned fragments; a confirmed find elsewhere would enlarge and date the corpus, while a rejected one shrinks it to Byblos alone.
