مستخلص: •During the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (c. 2613–2494 BC), Combed Wares and their contents were produced in the Levant and traded to Egypt.•In Egypt, these vessels were received as high-status objects associated with the palace economy and funerary assemblages of high officials.•A geochemical approach reinforces published petrographic results to show the jars likely originated in Northern Lebanon in the region of the important site of Byblos.•The findings suggest the vessels likely belonged to specialised workshop production made specifically for export to Egypt.•New light is shed on the origin and nature of the relationship between the Egyptian state and the polity of Byblos which endured for millennia.
