Abstract

The pottery assemblage from Khirbat el-Ni‘ana is presented in two groups: waste from the Byzantine period (fourth–seventh centuries CE) and pottery from the Mamluk period. The earlier group, locally produced, including many types of basins, cooking pots and storage jars, and a substantial number of jugs and juglets, possibly manufactured in or around Jerusalem. The later group comprises material characteristic of the region, including handmade, as well as wheel-made pottery. Some of the vessels bear typical painted geometric designs.
