Summary/Abstract: Most of the pottery collected during the 2011 season in Tell el-Retaba was found in assorted rubbish heaps and it is difficult to associate it with any particular structures or activities. The assemblage, however, is interesting, as it adds new forms not previously recorded at the site to the already known and studied ceramic material from the early Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties and the Third Intermediate Period. Pots from tombs dated to the Hyksos Period correspond presumably to the middle and final stages of the Fifteenth Dynasty. Another interesting group can be associated with the Twentieth Dynasty, its later stage in particular.
