Abstract

So far, little is known about pottery production in ancient Gadara. Kilns proving local production have been missing. However, pottery wasters, found in contexts not far from the city wall, testify to local ceramic production. Their archaeometric analyses provide a scientific fingerprint of the local wares for the first time.
