QUANTIFICATION OF TYPES IN AREA 2.1

POTTERY FROM OCCUPATION LEVELS (B1, S2, AND S3)

In this section, some homogeneous ceramic assemblages will be presented. They have been collected from the deposits corresponding to the phase of occupation and use of the structures in Area 2.1 (B1, S2, and S3) by Serenos and his family (Phase III). In these layers, the Greek ostraca and coins found together with the ceramics all point to the second half of the fourth century as a date horizon (CE 350–370). One of the main difficulties encountered during the analysis concerned contamination of the occupation contexts with sherds generally coming from the collapse of vaults, ceilings, or walls, and from the post-abandonment frequentation of the area.1 For each room of House B1, as well as for the streets, only the reliable stratigraphic units, mainly those located directly above floors, have been selected and, from these, just the most representative ceramic types are illustrated in the following plates. They are indicated with their field inventory number2 and only those that appear in the catalogue have also the assigned number.3 For these contexts, in addition to the description of the main categories attested, a detailed account of the significant fragments is also provided, accompanied by a drawing. The counting tables, including the Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) and the frequency of the type-groups, will help in the comprehension of the contexts taken into consideration.
