The Byzantine Pottery from Building 900 in the Southern Tyropoeon Valley
(pp. 299-316)
Débora Sandhaus
Keywords: City of David, Byzantine period, pottery typology, utility vessels, tableware
The Byzantine pottery found in Building 900 was retrieved from two Byzantine-period occupation phases. Most of the pottery forms are of well-known types, characteristic of the Byzantine period in Jerusalem, both locally made and imported. The vessel types are domestic in nature, including utility vessels for cooking and serving, and tableware. Based on the pottery finds, the building seems to have been constructed in the sixth century CE, most likely during its latter half, and served for a short period of time.
