Imported Pottery from Abydos: Weni the Elder and Late Old Kingdom Egyptian–Levantine Trade
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The article contributes new data for Egyptian-Levantine relations during the Egyptian 6 th Dynasty drawing on a petrographic study of Levantine Combed Ware jars found at Abydos.This is the largest group of Combed Ware Jars from the provinces and the only Old Kingdom group from outside the Memphite area to be studied using this method.The article confirms that the Egyptian-Levantine trade for liquids throughout the Old Kingdom using Combed Ware Jars was principally with a limited area of coastal Lebanon and was probably organised at the Levantine end by the port of Byblos.الممشط الفخار ار لجر افية بتروغر اسة در على باالعتماد السادسة، ية المصر ة األسر ة فتر خالل الشامية ية المصر العالقات عن جديدة ببيانات المقالة هذه تسهم منطقة خارج من القديمة الدولة عصر من الوحيدة المجموعة و األقاليم، من الممشط الفخار ار جر من مجموعة أكبر هذه ّ عد ُ ت أبيدوس.في عليها ثر ُ ع التي الشامية كانت الممشط الفخار ار جر باستخدام القديمة الدولة مر على الشامية

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
