The Byzantine Pottery from Building 900 in the Southern Tyropoeon Valley (original) (raw)
2023, 'Atiqot 112: Hoard Typology, Function and Purpose in Ancient Societies
The Byzantine pottery found in Building 900 was retrieved from two Byzantine-period occupation phases. Most of the pottery forms are of well-known types, characteristic of the Byzantine period in Jerusalem, both locally made and imported. The vessel types are domestic in nature, including utility vessels for cooking and serving, and tableware. Based on the pottery finds, the building seems to have been constructed in the sixth century CE, most likely during its latter half, and served for a short period of time.

Preliminary Report on Early Byzantine Pottery from a Building Complex at Kenchreai (Greece)
ISAW Papers, 2015
This paper presents the results of preliminary study of Early Byzantine pottery from a large building near the waterfront at Kenchreai in southern Greece. Kenchreai served as the eastern port of Corinth throughout antiquity. The building was first excavated in 1976 by the Greek Archaeological Service, and it has been investigated since 2014 by the American Excavations at Kenchreai with permission from the Ministry of Culture under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. The pottery is characterized by the presence of many Late Roman Amphora 2 rims as well as stoppers and funnels. This indicates that the building had a role in the distribution of regional agricultural products during its final phase, which is dated to the very late sixth or early seventh centures A.D. by African Red-Slip and Phocaean Red-Slip tablewares. A wide range of lamps, glass vessels, and other small finds has also been recorded. Results to date are preliminary but ongoing work may allow further precision as to the chronology and use of this building.

Pottery from the workshop building block in the Early Byzantine city of Philippi
4th Conference on Late Roman Coarse Wares, Cooking Wares and Amphorae in the Mediterranean: Archaeology and Archaeometry (LRCW 4), Mediterranean: a market without borders, Thessaloniki 7 – 11 April 2011. BAR international Series 2616, Oxford, 2014
The pottery from a small building in the early Byzantine city of Philippi confirms its date in the 6th century AD but also reveals its partial use during the 7th century AD. The presence of handmade vessels along with wheelmade imported pottery in the same context enhances the argument for attributing the so-called Slavic ware actually to a non-Slavic population.
Import of Middle Byzantine pottery to the Western Black Sea coast: An overview.
Situated in the hinterland of Constantinople, the towns on the western Black sea coast had been an essential part of the Byzantine trade network. The exchange of goods is well testified by a huge quantity of pottery imports, that are now preserved in the collections of Bulgarian museums. The proposed paper outlines and illustrates with some specimens the distribution of Middle Byzantine pottery within the settlements on the western Black sea coast. It is based on a survey in the storages of nine museums and comprises almost all types of the widespread Byzantine amphorae and glazed tableware.
