General Information
This ware is the coarse variation of the Jerash Common ware. The ceramic repertoire is composed by different types of pithoi. This ware seems to start in the Byzantine-Ummayad period and not showing any remarkable change until the Early Abbasid Peirod.
The colour ranges from light-brown to brown tending to orange (7.5YR 6/6; 2.5 YR 6/6). The fabric is rich of small-medium lime inclusions, sometimes with vegetal, and chamottes inclusions. Dark-grey/grey core. Occasionally external slip (same colour of the fabric or buff / light buff) could be observed on the body.
