description As with objects of lapis lazuli and carnelian, stone vessels must be understood in economic, political and symbolic terms, and thus play an important role in interpreting, for example, social status and exchange systems. These luxury products appear in elite contexts, at sites dating to the period from the end of the Neolithic to the Iron Age, in Egypt, the Levant, Syria, Mesopotamia, Iran, the Persian Gulf, eastern Arabia, Central Asia, and South Asia.
