The Gezer tablet is an ancient pottery tablet from the Middle Bronze Age that was discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Gezer, located in present-day Israel. It is one of the oldest known Hebrew calendars and is believed to date back to around the 10th century BC. On the board is written a list of the months of the year and the agricultural activities corresponding to them, such as planting and harvesting. This is an important artifact for scholars studying the history and culture of the ancient Near East.

“Two months gathering (September, October) Two months planting (November, December) Two months late sowing (January, February) One month cutting flax (March) One month reaping barley (April) One month reaping and measuring grain (May) Two months pruning (June, July) One month summer fruit (August)”.
