The Pottery of Khirbet Beit Bassa Ibrahim

This paper introduces the pottery documented during the 2009 campaign at Khirbet Beit Bassa, in the municipality of Beit Sahour, Bethlehem (Palestine). The ceramics include abundant tablewares and storage jars, and a small number of other wares. The assemblage dates approximately to between the 1st and 10th centuries CE, although detailed chronological study indicates that occupation of the site was concentrated between the 3rd and 4th centuries CE and the 6th and the 10th centuries CE.
