Abstract:
Van As and Jacobs analysized some ceramic sherds
to determine firing temperatures, the type of minerals in the clay, and how the
pots were manufactured. Most of the same techniques were used in the Late
Neolithic and the Halaf period. However, only the data that pertain to the
Ceramic Neolithic (here termed Late Neolithic) were indexed for OCM (Outline of
Cultural Materials codes)subjects (Outline of Cultural Materials). The data on
the Halaf ceramics were not indexed for OCM subjects as there is a separate
eHRAF collection on Halaf (M086).
