The pottery from the Magen Avraham Compound was found in stratified contexts of the Ottoman period, as well as in topsoil and mixed contexts. It includes imported earthenware glazed vessels from production centers in different parts of the Ottoman Empire, hard-paste and porcelain vessels from Europe and locally produced vessels, such as Black Gaza Ware. The assemblage also includes other ceramic artifacts, such as smoking pipes, Marseille roof and floor tiles, wall tiles and bricks. The prevalence of imported artifacts is characteristic of Ottoman-period Yafo, reflecting the growing presence of European pilgrims and Jewish immigrants between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries.
