MAREA 2008: POTTERY FROM EXCAVATIONS
MAREA 2008: POTTERY FROM EXCAVATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The report treats on pottery nds from the shops in the southwest part of the basilica and from the nave. These are mostly tableware, including jugs, bowls, cooking pots, lids and amphorae (LRA 1 [=Kellia 164], LRA 4 from Gaza and some rare LRA 7). The ceramic material uncovered this season is diverse, yet in terms of design and materials it is consistent with local production. A few rare ceramics with stamped inscriptions have also been recorded, the more interesting pieces being two vessel fragments: one with an impressed depiction of a cross in the form of crux gemmata, and another with a partly preserved representation of Christ holding a cross.
