This report presents a typological and technological survey of the pottery from the Iron Age I village in area D. Only 201 Iron I rim sherds were found as well as four complete vessels and many not restorable body fragments. The pottery repertoire is quite limited: two types of storage jars, four different types of smaller jars and jugs, two types of large kraters, six types of small and medium-sized bowls and only one type of cooking pot, all dating to the 12th century B.C. Three pottery workshops could be distinguished, each one producing different kinds of vessels. Both a slow turning wheel and a faster throwing wheel were used. The site seems to have been inhabited for a short time only. }, author = {Margreet Steiner} }
