The Holy Land was the first region to enter the Bronze Age, which began with the rise of the Mesopotamian civilisation of Sumer in the mid-fourth millennium BCE. The presence of Canaanite vessels among the funerary offerings in the royal tombs of the First Dynasty of Egypt has revealed an important link between this period of ancient Egyptian civilisation, and the Early Bronze Age. As a result, these vessels have become a cornerstone in the chronology of the Near East in the Early Bronze age period. Numerous other types of vessels are known from this area.
