Archaeology Wordsmith It is a thick and usually badly fired and badly preserved red ware with an ochre wash and its importance lies in the fact that it serves to bridge the gap in the later 2nd millennium between the Harappan material of the Indus civilization and the black-and-red and painted-gray wares of the Iron Age. earthenware is the oldest and simplest form of <b>potteryb>; stoneware is a <b>potteryb> compound that is fired at a sufficiently high temperature to cause it to vitrify and become extremely hard; and porcelain, finer than stoneware and generally translucent, is made by adding feldspar to kaolin and then firing at a high temperature. Proto-Corinthian <b>potteryb>, most of which is miniature in size, was the first to be decorated in the black-figure painting technique: figure silhouettes drawn in black and filled in with incised details. www.reference-wordsmith.com /cgi-bin/lookup.cgi?category=&where=headword&terms=pottery   (2192 words)

Wadi Ziqlab Survey 2000 - Geoarchaeological and Archaeology fieldwork on Wadi terraces The survey discovered 18 previously undocumented sites, including ones with Geometric Kebaran, <b>Preb>-<b>Potteryb> <b>Neolithicb> B (PPNB), and Late <b>Neolithicb> material, and also found that the extent of <b>Neolithicb> and Early Bronze occupation at Tell Rakan (WZ 120) was greater than previously believed. No <b>potteryb> that we could attribute to the <b>Neolithicb> with reasonable certainty was found on the surface, but that is fairly typical of the Late <b>Neolithicb>; <b>Neolithicb> sherds tend to be too fragile to survive exposure on the modern surface. It is possible that this represents fairly intensive use of this terrace for agriculture in PPNB times, but the fairly high artifact densities in some parts of the terrace suggest that at least some <b>Neolithicb> houses may have been located here. www.chass.utoronto.ca /~banning/Ziqlab/ziqsur2000.htm   (1930 words)

Munhata, Flint Assemblages Layers 6 through 3 lacked ceramics and were assigned to the <b>Preb>-<b>Potteryb> <b>Neolithicb> B (Perrot 1964, 1966, 1968) [henceforth PPNB].

It is important to note that the final analysis of assemblages other than flint, as derived from revised and more refined stratigraphic interpretations and details (on the level of basket and loci), may cause revisions of some of this work. www.angelfire.com /journal2/crfj/html/livres/cahiers/flint.htm   (1565 words)
