Abstract

The shcrds fit into the general categories of Hellenistic and Roman pottery found around the eastern end of the Mediterrancan Sea. They are a homogcncous group, of similar fabric (but see the comment on 7^5) and so probably are of local manufacture; unusu- ally hard firing is a noticeablc characteristic. In date they range from the third century B. C. to the sccond ccntury A. D., but they may be compressed vvithin a somewhat narrower limit : second century B. C. through first century A. D. The Hellenistic sherds can be late cxamplcs which need not be dated earlier than the sccond century. Some of the Roman fragments may seem later than they really are because the hard firing gives them some of the quality of later wares.
