Abstract
Most of the pottery recovered from the excavations at el-Khirba, Shoham, was of local manufacture. The examples range in date from the early Hellenistic to the Late Roman/early Byzantine periods, exhibiting pottery forms typical of the Judean region. Based on the ceramic finds, the settlement’s peak was between the second half of the first century BCE to 70 CE. The occupation of the site came to an end probably in the fifth century or even as late as the sixth century CE.
