Abstract

Although archaeological results at Alalakh/Tell Atchana supported until very recently the view that the site was inhabited until the end of the Bronze Age, recent excavations (2012–2014) carried out in two areas provided data to stress an Iron Age occupation of the site. The study and analysis of the local pottery produced on-site and found in these Iron Age contexts provides very important data on the occupation of the site during this period, pointing out changes and continuity in the morphology of local pottery and, most importantly, emphasising behaviours concerning preparation of food, its consumption and the social activities related to it. Through this study, it is possible to provide hypotheses concerning which social group was still occupying the site in a period of major political changes and external influences. This paper will present for the first time the ongoing study of this material and compare it with the local pottery production of the Late Bronze Age.
