最近在Tel Yarmuth（青铜时代早期，公元前3500-2350年）的发现使我们能够重新审视在黎凡特南部引入陶工轮的问题。在黎凡特南部发现了两个止止带，它们代表了公元前三千年典型的陶工轮子。他们的技术分析，以及对EB III陶瓷的分析，证实了在雅穆斯和其他当代遗址，陶工并没有把陶瓷扔到轮子上，而是把粗糙的卷起来，然后把它们变薄和/或在tournette上成型。只有一小部分容器是在tournette上制作的，这表明它是由有限数量的陶工使用的。有人认为，使用tournette的陶工可能是附属于大城市精英阶层的专家，偶尔会在一个地区内的几个定居点之间分享。
Abstract Recent discoveries at Tel Yarmuth (Early Bronze Age, c. 3500–2350 BC) enable us to revisit the question of the introduction of the potter's wheel in the Southern Levant. Two tournettes have been found which represent the typical potter's wheel of the 3rd millennium BC in the Southern Levant. Their technological analysis, as well as an analysis of the EB III ceramics, confirms that at Yarmuth, and other contemporary sites, potters did not throw ceramics on the wheel, but coiled roughouts which were then thinned and/or shaped on the tournette. Only a small range of vessels were fashioned on the tournette, suggesting that it was used by a limited number of potters. It is suggested that the potters using the tournette may have been specialists attached to the elite of a major city and occasionally shared out between several settlements within a region.
