NAQLUN 2005. POTTERY DEPOSIT FROM ROOM G.8A
NAQLUN 2005. POTTERY DEPOSIT FROM ROOM G.8A

Summary/Abstract: Room G.8a of Building G in Naqlun, where a pottery deposit was excavated in 2005, is a small space opening to the south with a small arched opening situated low in the west wall. The architecture and finds have supported the interpretation of this room as a toilet. The room was filled with a compact layer of pottery exceeding 50 cm in thickness. Interestingly, there were no glazed ceramics among the finds. The vessels are incomplete except for a few examples. They represent mainly bag-shaped amphorae or bottles (especially bottoms and necks). The pottery from room G.8a represents a fairly narrow repertoire of shapes, all of them originating from the 9th–10th centuries.
