Qal'at Ja'bar Pottery A Study of a Syrian Fortified Site of the Late 11th-14th Centuries

This volume provides a new means of interpreting and reconstructing the history of an important fortified site of the middle Euphrates valley, Qalat Jabar, and clarifies its connection with the neighboring regions. A detailed classification of the pottery finds from the late eleventh to the fourteenth centuries provides a chronological framework for the major changes in ceramic production - a valuable model which can be used for other sites.
