ORGANIZATION OF POTTERY TABLES

The pottery tables have been organized in the following way.

Each shape is drawn _{separately on a single} table _which in its _{own turn gathers all the examples coming from the}

various sites. The individual _{profiles are} arranged on a vertical scale, for I have been trying to portray _graphically

the distribution _{of the same shape not only geographically}

but _{also according to the scheme of relative chronolgies that} I have devised.

Only the _{material from Habuba Kabira South was} drawn

separately, basically _according to _ware. First, because of the _{wealth of the data, second, because of} the thoroughness

with which the _material is _{published, which} allowed me to draw _pottery "types" _{rather than "shapes".}

The Habuba _{Kabira South tables go under} the heading _{of a} tables. _{The b, c and d tables collect the material} from

northern Mesopotamia, _western Syria _{and the upper} Euphrates basin _{and the neighbouring intermontane valleys respectively.}

There _{are only very few profiles from} the last _regions in the a tables. They _{are all} "new" (Uruk- _{related) ones.}

Having decided _{to illustrate all the published profiles -} opinions about the individual _{outlines may differ} and the

classification _presented here is by no means binding _{- it} became impossible _{to draw to scale all the profiles which}
