Description
This chapter is concerned with pottery from the Early Bronze Age. This pottery cannot be considered as a locally produced homogeneous group. The raw materials used in the production indicate a wide range of sources. Therefore, the wares are first described, followed by the pottery drawings and description which cover the range of shapes found. This is followed by some notes on the manufacturing of the pottery and a list showing the quantity of sherds from each class and other features found.
