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. New insights
include the discovery that third millennium BCE pottery appears to
have been produced by nomadic families, middle Bronze Age ceramics
were made by professional potters in the Wadi Refaim, the pottery
market of the Iron Age II pottery cannot be closely dated and is
still produced during the first centuries after the exile, and 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.
