“…It was continued in late Roman times when two types of amphorae, AM 14 and Agora M 334, were produced. Evidence of this comes in the form of production wasters and has also been confirmed by chemical analyses of the fabric of the sherds discovered on site (Roumié et al 2010;Wicenciak 2016).…”

“…For this type of casserole, direct parallels are found in the well deposit in Saida/Sidon, together with material dated to the early Roman period (Wicenciak 2016). The production of casseroles of this type has been noted also in the vicinity of Akko/Ptolemais, where they were made in the late Hellenistic period in the so-called Carmel Coast Sandy Cooking Ware (Wicenciak 2016).…”

“…Four types of wares were distinguished, reflecting the different production phases in Porphyreon: Late Hellenistic Jiyeh Ware, Early Roman Jiyeh Ware, Late Roman Jiyeh Ware, Byzantine Jiyeh Ware. Not all of them are discussed here in the same amount of detail, as only in the case of late Hellenistic and early Roman wares is there sufficient data on the local vessel production (Wicenciak 2016).…”

“…Paul Reynolds sees the prototype of the Beirut 1a and the type 2 amphora from Jiyeh in the so-called Greek-Italian Sidon 3 type (Wicenciak 2016), which is dated to the period from the mid-3rd to the mid-2nd century BC.…”

“…Frangié classified them as water containers. Most of them were produced in Phoenician Semi-Fine Ware, typifying the production of vessels in the Hellenistic period in the Tyre region (Wicenciak 2016). Jug sherds from Beirut are preserved mostly without handles.…”

The study presents the ceramic assemblage from Jiyeh, including a typological and chronological classification of the vessels, and discusses the finds in relation to trends and phenomena typical of Phoenician pottery production in the periods in question. The overall picture of local workshop output contributes important insights into the history of ancient trade and craftsmanship in central Phoenicia. A formal examination of the ceramic material, combined with a review of ancient sources, written and other, sheds light on the administrative status of the settlement in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, placing it convincingly in the hinterland of Sidon rather than Berytus. Moreover, it has added a unique small-town perspective to the study of the economy of ancient Phoenicia, based so far chiefly on data from the large urban centres like Sidon, Tyre and Berytus.

This paper focuses on the typological diversity of the cooking pottery recovered from excavations of the buildings, took place during the 2018 to 2021 field seasons. The total area encompassed by the buildings is 28.20 metres by 10.60 metres. The buildings, designated A and B, encompass a total floor area of approximately 240 square metres and contain twelve rooms. The entirety of the cooking wares in question, as discussed in this article, were retrieved from Buildings A and B. A fundamental typology of the coarse wares was established for the early Roman to late Roman periods of Anemurium, as outlined by C. Williams in her study. This paper evaluates the types, studied by Williams, as well as new variations of these types, and newly identified types. This paper identifies 16 distinct types. The identified types are as follows: 1, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 16 are variations of the those studied by Williams. The 4, and 15 are new discoveries for Anemurium. The types: 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 were previously evaluated by Williams. This study aims to expand the research on the Late Roman cooking vessels from Anemurium.
