Most of
the pottery found in the excavation is of
the Islamic period and covers all of its
phases. Vessels from the Umayyad period
included part of a colorfully painted bowl
and an almost complete small bowl or cup
of a whitish color with floral motifs. A
handmade pithos (large jar) of a
pinkish-brown color was also found. It has
a thick rim and two pairs of handles, with
its upper part bearing a combed incised
decoration of wavy combing which forms
squares. Another pithos has a richer
decorative pattern of straight lines, wavy
lines and intersecting semi-circles. Such
jars date to the Abassid era (late 10th to
11th century A.D.). Finally, an 18th
century English ink bottle of grey ware
and a brown-colored glazed surface was
found.
