| Summary: | N. Avigad, at his excavations in the old Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, uncovered several thin-walled bowls with floral decorations. They became known as Pseudo-Nabataean Ware because of their resemblance to the fine Nabataean painted wares. Nine of the pieces were subjected to neutron activation analysis to learn where they were made. Two others have come to our attention, both from the Nabataean site of Avdat. All 11 specimens proved to be of Jerusalem manufacture. Evidence for this conclusion is presented in this report. The decorations and workmanship of these vessels were examined and although most could be easily distinguished from the true Nabataean ware, a couple were virtually indistinguishable. Examination of the ceramic and numismatic context in which they were found in Jerusalem showed that they were made within the interval a. d. 6-70. |
