"This study focuses on a major issue in Near Eastern prehistoric archaeology: the rise of the Halaf culture, ca 5900 - 5400 cal BC. The book presents in a detailed, quantified and lavishly illustrated manner the ceramics excavated by the National Museum of Antiquities Leiden at Tell Sabi Abyad, northern Syria. Concentrating on the 1996 - 2000 campaigns, the book also synthesizes much earlier work in order to come to a comprehensive overview. Tell Sabi Abyad thus far remains the only archaeological site in the Near East where the shift from a Pre-Halaf to an Early Halaf cultural assemblage can be followed within a continuous, meticulously stratified sequence. The book is of interest not only to specialists of prehistoric pottery but to a wider archaeological audience as well."--BOOK JACKET
