Label TextThese vessels represent one of the three pottery traditions at the site during the Proto-Urban period. Called Proto-Urban A, this tradition consisted of handmade bowls and jugs that were covered with a burnished or polished red slip. Parallels with similar pottery traditions in the Near East suggest the influence of people from Syria and Anatolia.Exhibition HistoryA Preview of the Collections, Schatten Gallery, February 15 - April 4, 1982
