Description :
The characteristics of, and the sources of the soil materials for, pottery groups manufactured in 3 ancient settlements of early Roman Galilee were studied by micromorphological techniques. The micromorphological comparison of the pottery groups and soil materials shows that 2 main factors influenced the raw-material procurement strategies of the potters of these settlements : the proximity of the soil material to the potters' settlement, and the suitability of the soil material for pottery manufacture.
