| Sumario: | Summary: Iron Age “Negevite” Pottery: A Reassessment
Negevite pottery, a coarse, hand-made ware ubiquitously found in Iron Age Negev
and southern Jordan sites, is almost our only archaeological source of information
for the pastoral groups that inhabited these areas. This paper aims at studying some
typological and technological aspects of the manufacture of this pottery, as well
as its spatial distribution. An analysis of these issues may give a clue for a better
interpretation of the Negevite wares and may help in gaining some insight into the
socioeconomic framework that conditioned their producers. Based on ethnographic
parallels, it is suggested that production of Negevite pottery was made in pastoral
households for their own demand, and that its geographical distribution is a
consequence of the movements of pastoral groups. |
