The Medieval Ceramics from Khirbat Ka‘kul
(pp. 75–104)
Adrian J. Boas
Keywords: Jerusalem, typology, Muslim village, Frankish settlement
The ceramic assemblage from Khirbat Ka‘kul is typical of village sites from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries CE, reflecting on the regionalism of certain wares and the broad distribution of others. Some imported wares from Cyprus were found as well, probably indicating trade in imports. Handmade painted wares are numerous amongst the finds, as are coarse handmade cooking pots. A small quantity of metal, bone and stone finds was recovered, the most exceptional being a small bronze cross.
