Like Jack, I hope to examine the article myself first thing tomorrow. But
it seems to me that the most such a sherd can prove is that something called
a bytyhwh was referred to on a piece of pottery. WIhtout context, date, and
datable material we cannot presume that such a small piece of evidence
proves either a temple or a monarchy.
