P-39 Broken Dishes on a Broken Road: An Example of Tall Jalul’s Field B Pottery
Abstract
Ceramic analysis consists of a number of elements including particle analysis (voids and inclusions), Munsell color readings, and measurements, which is crucial in developing archaeological stratigraphy. The find location of diagnostic sherds aids in understanding space usage within a given locus clarifying the context and dating of the material remains. A Matrix sequence chart developed by arranging all loci by phase, further clarifies the stratigraphy for each square. My research has utilized the above methodology focusing on ceramic remains from squares B:11-19 in the Iron Age road system at Tall Jalul, Jordan. I will present the stratigraphic results from one of these.
