Summary: | Pottery vessels found in several burial grounds used during the late third millennium B. C. (EB IV) near Amman represent a typologically homogeneous repertoire. One may regard it as a regional variant of other groups ("families") used in various socioeconomic reconstructions within a hypothetical chronological framework between about 2300 and 2000 B. C. A new set of burial groups presented here is linked into the stratigraphic matrix established at one of the still rare occupation sites of the period, Tell Um-Hammad, in the Jordan Valley. Because these pottery families should be considered largely contemporary, the current absolute chronological framework should be abandoned, and we should be cautious about making interpretations based on the more traditional typological and forensic/technological arguments. |
