Transfer-Printed Wares (Fig. 1:1-3) The transfer-print technique was invented around the mid-eighteenth century in England, and was especially common in the nineteenth century (Savage and Newman 2000:296). The technique, consisting of printing a pattern from a color-filled copper plate on a ceramic vessel, was a cheap way of producing large quantities of decorated vessels, affordable for a large group of consumers. The transfer-print technique is still employed today. Transfer-Printed Ware in Blue-on-White J-TW-PL-1 (Fig. 1:1).-Rim fragment of hard-paste plate with underglaze transfer-print in blue. The design on the rim consists of geometric and floral designs. This specific rim decoration, inspired by Chinese bronzes, has been associated with the standard Willow Pattern, which would have been in the center of the plate (Rogers 2004:10). The Willow Pattern was invented in c. 1760 in England, and the term was originally applied to any Chinese landscape pattern. The standard Willow Pattern was first produced on hard-paste vessels, and only at the end of the nineteenth century, on porcelain. The pattern was mostly produced in blue, imitating Blue-on-White Chinese porcelain, but existed also in red, green, black and brown. It is the most common pattern among the transfer-printed vessels retrieved from Yafo, and was found abundantly in the Qishle excavations (Vincenz 2021b: Fig. 8.1A). Since many English factories produced vessels with the Willow Pattern, without a backstamp, it is virtually impossible to assign the fragment to a specific factory. A dating to the nineteenth or late nineteenth century is suggested. Transfer-Printed Ware in Red with Floral/Geometric Pattern J-TW-PL-2 (Fig. 1:2).-Rim fragment of plate with underglaze transfer-printed floral and geometric decoration in red. In 1829-1830, new colors such as red, brown, green and pink were introduced in England. This vessel should be dated to the nineteenth century, but its country of origin is unknown. Transfer-Printed Ware in Red with Asiatic Pheasants Pattern J-TW-PL-2 (Fig. 1:3).-Fragment of central part of plate with red underglaze transferprinted pattern. The motif is an Oriental-inspired scene with large petaled flowers and a Chinese bird with showy plumage. This pattern is called Asiatic Pheasants and was first produced by Podmore Walker & Co. in Tunstall in 1834 (Asiatic Pheasants: Pattern Anna de Vincenz 162 J-HP-FB-PL-2A (Fig. 1:6).-Plate with ledge rim, decorated with a blue pattern of squares with a scene in the center. No identification of the pattern was possible, but it was probably produced in a European factory in the nineteenth century. J-HP-FB-BL-1 (Fig. 1:7).-Large bowl with externally rolled rim, decorated with a floral pattern in blue with a blue line under the rim. Similar blue floral patterns were produced by Petrus Regout (Petrus Regout: Decor 69 3 bis; Petrus Regout: Decor 145 blauw 3 bis) at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Similar bowls with polychrome decoration were found at the Greek Market in Yafo (Vincenz, forthcoming [a]: Fig. 8:1-4). White-Glazed Ware Undecorated white glazed vessels were mainly used in canteens, hospitals and schools, as they were cheap and affordable. The institutions using these vessels would sometimes add their name or logo to them. It seems that most European factories produced white-glazed wares. Some of these vessels had molded decorations, or appliqué handles and knobs. J-WW-PL-2A (Fig. 1:8).-Ledge rim of plate glazed grayish white, otherwise undecorated. No identification for these plates is possible if the backstamp is not preserved. The suggested date is the nineteenth or early twentieth century. J-WW-BL-2-Stamp 1 (Fig. 1:9).-This ring base of a bowl bears an underglaze printed backstamp with the letters: HB & Cie, Choisy, FRANCE. The bowl was made by a French manufacturer from Choisy-Le-Roi. The initials HB refer to Hyppolite Boulenger, director between 1878 and his death in 1892, and the stamp FRANCE indicates a date after 1891, since the country of production only rarely appeared before that date (Faiences Histoire: VIII.5). J-WW-BL-2B-Stamp 2 (Fig. 1:10).-The ring base of this molded bowl bears an underglaze backstamp: J. Vieillard and the letters BO. Jules Vieillard was director of the faïence factory in Bacalan, near Bordeaux from 1845 onward, the factory closing in 1895. J-WW-TUR-2C (Fig. 1:11).-White-glazed vegetable or stew tureen. The handles are molded in the shape of a leaf and have a hole below, possibly to keep the air circulating, or to keep the handle cool when serving. Various English manufacturers produced such vessels with molded handles and knobs in white-glazed ware between c. 1850-1860 (for example, Davenport: Tureen). The Utzschneider factory in Sarreguemines produced vegetable tureens with similar handles (Faïencité 2001: Articles courants, Pl. 11:128, 129), as well as soup tureens (Faïencité 2001: Articles courants, Pl. 28). The fragment should be dated from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century.

The synchronization and synthesis of the archaeological finds with historical sources, such as landholding surveys, census registrations, maps, military reports, photographs, travelers' accounts, and memoirs written by local inhabitants and their descendants, together with the implementation of georeferencing tools, provide an opportunity to reconstruct a spatial outline of the village and to attribute sociopolitical and personal aspects to the inhabitants of the buildings that were found during the excavation.

This building was in use until its destruction in 614 CE, as determined by the numismatic evidence (see Chapters 4, 5). Thus, the pottery assemblages presented below are chronologically defined by these two absolute anchors. The material discussed here comprises a selection of the ceramics retrieved in the 2008-2014 seasons, and originates in secure loci from within Building 1821 and associated Channels 1852, 1889 and 1934, and from the surface of the slabs (L1877) and a sequence of plastered floors (L1809, L1820, L1823) of Street 1886. In addition, an assemblage of pottery sherds from the soil in the agricultural field to the south of Building 1821, which is of a mixed nature, is also presented. The Byzantine Stratum V was divided stratigraphically into three main building phases, VC, VB and VA (see Chapter 2). The goal of this ceramic study was to date these phases through analysis of the associated ceramic assemblages. Due to the firm dating of the Byzantine assemblage, the stratigraphic sequence within this period provides an opportunity for a further refinement of the dating of the Byzantine repertoire in Jerusalem. The ceramic assemblages are very fragmentary, with almost no complete vessels, and only a few restorable vessels. 1 The material was sorted in the field and only diagnostic sherds were retained. The diagnostic pieces were further selected according to secure loci. As the material from the three phases is largely homogenous and the ceramic types recur in most of the loci, the description of the vessels is presented in typological order. However, the assemblages from the secure loci are illustrated in the figures according to the architectural features assigned stratigraphically to a specific phase, to aid in the chronological analysis. The ware descriptions were assisted by the Munsell Soil Color Charts (1998). The table ware consists of imported fine wares, such as African Red Slip ware (ARS) from North Africa, Late Roman C ware (LRC) from Asia Minor, and some Cypriot Red Slip ware (CRS) from Cyprus, mainly plates and bowls. Local fine wares appeared alongside the imports, such as rouletted bowls and Fine Byzantine Ware (FBW) bowls and jugs, as 1 The digital ceramic drawings were prepared by the team of the Hebrew University.

Fine Wares; Byzantine-Early Islamic Wares anna de vincenz Editors: This chapter consists of five ... more Fine Wares; Byzantine-Early Islamic Wares anna de vincenz Editors: This chapter consists of five parts. The first two parts consider fine wares. Part 1 examines some of the fine wares of the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods that were recovered from non-stratified loci and thus do not appear in chap. 2; and Part 4 presents fine wares of the Late Roman and Byzantine periods, also not part of the purview of chap. 2. The two largest parts of this chapter focus on the sizeable corpus of Byzantine and Early Islamic wares from Sepphoris: Part 3 focuses on an area of the western summit that has primarily Byzantine and later remains and that seems to have been the locus of commercial and craft activities-hence the designation "Byzantine-Early Islamic Pottery Assemblage from the Byzantine Shops"; and Part 3 presents additional Byzantine and Early Islamic materials from other parts of the western summit, including two loci-one a cistern-that each produced an interesting corpus of wares. The chapter concludes in Part 5 with a brief discussion of the menorah as a decorative motif on some of the ceramic remains from Sepphoris. The term "Islamic" is used in this chapter to designate the period beginning with the Islamic conquest for areas under Islamic rule; it is used with a political, not a religious, meaning. The author considers this term preferable to "Arab," which may have ethnic implications. The discussion of fine wares in this chapter uses the standard designations shown in Chart 3 (p. 143). 1. Eastern Sigillata A Wares and Other Hellenistic and Early Roman Fine Wares (pls. 41-42) Author's note: I wish to thank Eric and Carol Meyers who asked me to study the material. Drawings are by Helena Bitan and Julia Rudman. Eastern Sigillata A Wares (pl. 41) Eastern Sigillata A is represented mainly by bowls of various shapes and also by jugs. The classification of the ESA vessels follows Hayes (1985a). Because ESA vessels were produced in the Syro-Palestinian region, probably somewhere in southern Syria, it is not surprising to find these vessels at Sepphoris. The clay of the vessels is usually fine and well levigated. The vessels are covered with a dull or glossy slip that is different in color from the clay and is mainly represented by various shades of orange-red and red. The slip is either applied thinly, barely covering the ware, or applied twice, in which case the second layer is clearly visible. Sometimes the surfaces are fired so intensely that they appear black, as is the case in our two jugs (pl. 41:9-10). ESA Bowl Hayes's Form 20 (pl. 41:1). This small bowl with incurved rim is a type that Hayes (1985a: Tav. 3:8) classifies as Form 20 and dates to the second century B.c.e. This form also appears in Antiochia as Form 157. ESA Bowl Hayes's Form 35 (pl. 41:2). This shallow bowl has a carinated body, an everted rim, a rather high foot, and a fine rouletted band under the rim. Hayes (1985: Tav. 5:12) classifies it as Form 35. The slip is usually glossy and well applied. An exact parallel from Jerusalem has been published by Hayes (1985b: fig. 53:1). Similar bowls have been found at Caesarea (Johnson 2008b: 228-29) and Ashkelon (Johnson 2008a: Form 36:12-13). They are dated to the second half of the first century c.e. ESA Bowl Hayes's Form 43 (pl. 41:3). The rim of this bowl with gently flaring walls and carination is flaring, and it has a ring base. Hayes (1985: 33) classifies it as Chart 3.
