Abstract

A small but significant pottery assemblage dating from the Early Islamic period was retrieved from Building 900 excavated in the Tyropoeon Valley. The assemblage includes vessels typical of the Umayyad period, the early eighth century CE, and the Abbasid period, the ninth century CE. The latest diagnostic sherds date from the mid- to late tenth century CE. This Early Islamic pottery assemblage provides important insights into the occupation history of the area immediately south of present-day Old City of Jerusalem
