Full analysis of ceramics 2010-08-19 mKB On reviewing the ceramics from this feature I now think that it is to be dated to ED III, although early or late in this phase cannot be determined from the few shape sherds found in the feature. The feature contained one pointed base, dating to Ninevite V, a bowl rim and a jar rim dating to ED III, and a small handle from a Fine Pebble Tempered ware cooking pot, date unknown because these cooking pots were made and used over at least from ED III into the early second millennium.
