Abstract
Excavations in the underground Crusader water reservoir at Moẓa yielded a ceramic assemblage dating primarily to the Ayyubid period (1187–1250 CE), as well as some later Mamluk sherds (fourteenth to fifteenth centuries CE). The assemblage includes bowls, cooking pots, frying pans, amphorae, store jars, jugs, a juglet, a flask and lamps. The ceramic assemblage has strong affinities with contemporaneous Crusader and Frankish sites from the rural hinterland of Jerusalem. Other vessels of a later, Late Ottoman or British Mandate date were associated with an intrusive burial.
