Urkesh Ceramic Analysis

Version (1a)
Legacy

Introduction

Marilyn Kelly-Buccellati – September 2025

Work on the ceramic corpus developed over a period of many years, starting at a time when programs were not in place to process the data. We repreduce them here partly as a legacy document, but especially because the legacy lists generally contain more examples than the corresponding TCR lists. For example, https://urkesh.org/MZ/A/TCR/TEXTS/C3/bowls.htm#carinated lists 70 items of carinated bowls, whereas link to PDF lists 219 items.

These were working pages, so there are handwritten notes, which represent different stages of the research. But this is in keeping with the nature of a legacy document. It is expected that further research wmay integrate all the relevant material in later editions of the TCR website.
