N2 - In the Early Levant and Mesopotamia, stone vessels functioned at different levels of ancient societies. Key areas - Egypt, Crete, the Gulf, Iran and Southern Mesopotamia -produced distinctive shapes with characteristic stones, using manufacturing techniques that differed across the region. Using the ARCANE Regional and chronological framework, key shapes, stone types, and the movement of stone vessels are outlined. With emphasis on exchange mechanisms in the Levant, it is demonstrated that stone vessels purposed beyond the strictly utilitarian were a prestige item, coveted and acquired by elites for religious, political or funerary display, and as a means of projecting state ideologies.
