A History of Pottery and Potters in Ancient Jerusalem : Excavations by K. M. Kenyon in Jerusalem 1961-1967 Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book surveys four thousand years of pottery production and presents totally unexpected fresh information, using technical and analytical methods.

It provides a study of ancient pottery of Jerusalem, from the earliest settlement to the medieval city and brings to light important aspects that cannot be discovered by the commonly accepted morphological pottery descriptions.

Thus, third millennium BCE pottery appears to have been produced by nomadic families, mb ceramics were made by professional potters in the Wadi Refaim, the pottery market of the IA.II pottery cannot be closely dated and is still produced during the first centuries after the exile.

The new shapes are made by Greek immigrant potters. The book contains a chapter on the systematics of ceramic studies and numerous notes about the potters themselves.
