ON SOME SOUTH LEVANTINE EARLY BRONZE AGE CERAMIC 'WARES' AND STYLES

description Studies on pottery of the south Levantine Early Bronze Age (Early Bronze Ages I, II and III) often use terms such as 'wares' to designate specific types of ceramics identified with regional and chronological niches in the archaeological record. While some such designations appear to be valid, as they refer to groups of objects defined by very specific parameters, others represent broad categories with poorly defined parameters. This paper presents a proposal for some specifically defined groups, traditions of ceramic production called 'wares' and 'styles', with indications of their temporal and regional distributions. It further suggests abandon- ing some commonly used designations that offer too little specificity, thus making them less than useful for archaeological research and discussion.
