Brief Overview
The definition of the what is a pot is the same for all units and all time periods in the UGR. See here for further details. We can see from our excavation contexts that few examples of pots were created in the ED III period. In the ED III shape catalog 15 pot shapes are illustrated.
In this period pots with an oval body shape often had a short spout attached to the body near the rim. Interesting are small globular pots with two double pierced handles (globular pots). This vessel was made over a long period from ED II when it had a pointed base to the Akkadian period by which time the base had changed into a flat base.
