Note: Large dot indicates approximate location of Tel Hebron (a spur of Jebel Rumeida or Tell er-Rumeideh).
General statistics:
Note--The sub-quantities are derived from ZDPV vol. 118 #2 by Kletter, where the Ofer excavations are summarized as two H2x, three x2x, & the Eisenberg excavations were preliminarily summarized as four Hxx, four xxx. The H2D photo below is from Ofer's, whereas the H2T & Z2D are from Eisenberg. However, Eisenberg's report (Hadashot Arkheologiyot 114, published after Radovan's) stated that specimens of both icons had been found. So Radovan's summary for Eisenberg can be expanded to one H2T, three Hxx, one Z2D, one x4x, two xxx.

H2D
- H2D, 10:00, xxx, x from "New Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land volume 2 (Em-Je)" edited by Ephraim Stern, distributed by The Israel Exploration Society (from Hebron):
Note: This impression also appears in "Archaeology, Stamps and Coins of the State of Israel" by Yitzhak Zahavy
H2T
- H2T, 3:00, Sxx, 0 from a cropped & misoriented lo-res photo by Emanuel Eisenberg (originally published at this defunct link: http://www.hebron.org.il/telrumeida/dig5.htm, but now preserved in this archive for research purposes; it is tentatively identified here as an H2T, which it most closely resembles, but it may be from a unique seal):
Z2D
- Z2D, x:00, xxx, x from a cropped photo by Emanuel Eisenberg (originally published at this defunct link: http://www.hebron.org.il/telrumeida/telhebronring.htm, but now at this one where it is still misrepresented as bearing a "Hevron" inscription; it probably has 1 or 2 incised Circles, but they can't be positively confirmed from this photo):
"Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the LORD."--2Samuel 15:7
