6. | Description | Abstract | Numerous studies have attempted to define the development of urbanism in the southern Levant during the Early Bronze Age. While pan-regional models have generally been favored, fieldwork has increasingly demonstrated the complex and diverse character of the archaeological record during this period, emphasizing the importance of examining development at the local regional level. The Madaba Settlement Cluster, situated in the Highlands of central Jordan, offers a unique opportunity to test integration at this regional level. This paper presents the preliminary results of a holistic analysis of pottery assemblages from six Early Bronze II sites within the Madaba Settlement Cluster and highlights the distributed nature and organization of the ceramic industry during this period. |
