Ceramic products of this petro-fabric are found in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean from the late 5th through the first half of the 7th c. CE.
Diamanti describes this fabric by "the homogeneity of their technological characteristics (meaning their shape and clay): the reddish orange - brown (Munsell c. 5 or 7 YR 6/6) fabric is fine and quite clean, with few inclusions and mica, characteristically different of the fabric of the imported LRA 1s and similar of the fabric of the Koan LRA 13s..." (2010: 204).
The LRA13 (a term used to describe ovoid LRA 2s) fabric mentioned at the end is undoubtedly the same fabric, local to the Halasarna area. Notably, Diamanti records that "in some cases, because of the fire of the vase, is more green / yellow (Munsell 7.5 YR 7/3, 8/2˙ 10 YR 7/4, 8/2- 8/4˙ 2.5-5 Υ 7/3, 7/4, 8/2, 8/3)" (2010: 207). This greenish coloration was observed in a LRA1 specimen from Caesarea Maritima, suggested to be a product of the Halasarna kilns.
