Salvage excavations in the neighborhood of Newe Yaraq, Lod exposed the remains of a Late Roman pottery kiln of the vertical or up-draft type. Seven to eight mud-brick courses of the circular outer wall of the lower chamber (firebox) survived. A round, mud-brick column in its center supported a mud-brick vaulted ceiling that served as the floor of the upper stacking chamber. Associated ceramics, including kiln wasters and slags, were encountered on the fire-chamber’s floor. Most common in the assemblage are sherds belonging to a single type of storage jar, dating to the second–fourth centuries CE. Pottery of the Pottery Neolithic A period (PNA) comprises 390 potsherds, including bowls, basins, kraters/pithoi, holemouth jars and necked jars. Painted and burnished geometrical patterns occur on both open and closed vessels. One base, of a coil-made pedestal vessel, bears a textile impression.
