	A definitive work by Jordan{\textquoteright}s ceramic expert, this volume is devoted to typological analysis and descriptions, including drawings of the large corpus of pottery from Tell Hesban and vicinity. Special emphasis on ancient ceramic technology presents the results of petrologic and INAA\&nbsp; research for sherds dating to the LB/Iron, Iron Age, Classical, and Medieval Eras. A total of 12 ware categories, identified for 230 thin sections, characterized sherds dating to the Iron Age through medieval times.\&nbsp;Discussions include detailed analysis of: collar rim storage jars; "Ammonite Ware"; clay bodies and non-plastics; cookware fabrics; burnishing; glazing; manufacturing traditions; firing strategies; organization of the pottery industry; Hand-made Geometric Painted Ware; and social implications of changes within the pottery industry over the millennia. The result is an assessment of continuity and change of ceramic bodies found at a single site spanning two millennia.



	Major contributors include: Larry Herr (Iron Age), Yvonne Gerber (Hellenistic-Byzantine Periods), Bethany Walker (Islamic Period), Gloria London (technology and petrography), and Robert A. Schuster (technology and petrography).
