In Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan: Volume 3, The Iron Age Pottery, Michèle Daviau presents a detailed typology of the Iron Age pottery excavated from 1989 to 1995. She looks beyond the formal changes to an in-depth analysis of the forming techniques employed to make each type of vessel from bowls to colanders, cooking pots to pithoi. The changes in fabric composition from Iron I to Iron II were more significant than those from Iron IIB to IIC, although changes in surface treatment, especially slip color, were noticeable. Petrographic analysis of Iron I pottery by Stanley Klassen contributes to our growing corpus of fabric types, while Peter Epler documents typical Ammonite painted patterns and Elaine Kirby and Marianne Kraft present a typology of pottersâ marks.
P. M. Michèle Daviau, Ph.D. (1990), University of Toronto, is Professor Emerita at Wilfrid Laurier University. She published four final report volumes on the material culture of the Ammonite site of Tall Jawa and one volume on Wayside Shrine WT-13. She currently directs the Wadi ath-Thamad Project of excavation and survey in northern Moab.
"This volume adds to knowledge of Iron Age Transjordan and, with other sites, will help to build a more reliable chronological framework in the future." - Lester L. Grabbe, in: The Society of Old Testament Study Book List 2022
