The Jezirah Burnished Ware
Abstract: The discovery of the Jezirah Burnished ware in the sacred area of Tell Barri (northeast Syria) dating back to the Early Jezirah II (2700-2600 BC) reveals a fundamental ostentatious function of this pottery, where the aesthetic sense and symbolic value prevails over any practical function. We can hypothesize that the local production of Jezirah Burnished ware was inspired by the original models from the Anatolian highlands. The production of the Jezirah Burnished ware may have been controlled by the local elites who organized the religious activities, using this pottery in strong relationship with the concept of identity to differentiate themselves from the rest of the community.
