which the shapes and applied band-decoration were influenced by Islamic styles.
On the basis of similar Medieval parallels in eastern Turkey, these sherds are
dated to the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. 10
Lid fragments of a similar coarse fabric were also found (e.g., S1414-01,
F1354-08). These flat lids were undoubtedly used in combination with closed
shapes, such as cooking pots and large storage jars. The round lids often
have a ribbed top with pinched piecrust edges (sometimes called ‘modelled/
crimped’), as can be seen on similar examples from excavations at Keban in
eastern Turkey. 11 Other finds included a jug handle (S1604-01) and a knob
fragment of a lid of Late Medieval times in an orange micaceous fabric very
analogous to a type of moulded pottery of the Beylik period from Ephesus
recently described as ‘Unglazed Relief Ware’.
The bulk of the unglazed and glazed domestic wares collected date
to either Ottoman or more recent times (fifteenth to twentieth centuries).
Fragments of Monochrome Glazed Wares from both periods are common.
The surface treatment of these fragments is confined to a monochrome ochrebrown,
yellow or greenish lead glaze over a white slip (engobe) on the inside
and upper part of the outside. There is no further decoration. The most
characteristic shapes are open vessels, such as bowls and dishes, although jars
and jugs are also sometimes glazed with only a lead glaze on the interior to
make them non-porous. There are also several fragments of pithoi of Ottoman
and early modern periods. A few large storage jars of the Ottoman-Modern
period have a black, tarry coating on the inside.
