Brief Overview

The definition of what is a pitcher is the same for all units and all time periods in the A11, A13 and A16, some tombs and a number of pottery kilns excavated in A15 (see also Lorenzo Crescioli’s MA thesis). Because of these limited contexts there are relative few Khabur period ceramics found in the excavations.

Pitchers with handles from the rim to the upper body appear now but are rare. The examples we found in our excavations are not decorated.
