A Pottery Assemblage from the North-Eastern Quarter at Apamea (Northern Syria): Preliminary Results

This paper presents the preliminary results of the study of the Islamic pottery from the North-Eastern quarter at Apamea, in Northern Syria. The area was intensely excavated by the group of “Centre de Recherches Archéologiques” of the Université Libre de Bruxelles and brought to light an important bathroom complex, that was later occupied as inhabited area during the Islamic period. The analysis of the ceramic assemblage from this settlement provides a signifi cant contribution, from a typological and chronological point of view, to our knowledge of pottery productions of the 13th and 14th centuries from a rural settlement in Northern Syria and it allows to illustrate an usually underrepresented territory.
