The Levantine Ceramics Project is a collaborative venture of archaeologists working in the modern countries of the Levant to make the evidence of ceramic wares, shapes, and laboratory analyses readily available. Our goal is to build a resource that will simplify the process of submitting, searching for, and using ceramic evidence so as to help advance broad comparative research on Levantine social, cultural, and economic history.
"Nothing would be better, of course, if those engaging in a legitimate specialization, laboriously tending to their own gardens, are forced nevertheless to keep up with work in a neighboring discipline. But the walls are so high that very often they block the view." -- F. Braudel, Écrits sur l’histoire (Paris 1969), p. 33
