The Passage from the Early Bronze to the Middle Bronze Age in Jezirah: a Parallel between Tell Mozan and Tell Barri Ceramic Sequences’

Despite recent archeological efforts in this fi eld, one of the diffi culties in comprehending the period of transition between the Early and the Middle Bronze age in the Syrian Jezirah, is the still inadequate calibration of compared ceramic sequences. This paper will offer a synchronic analysis of unpublished ceramic evidence provided from Tell Mozan and Tell Barri excavations. In particular, diagnostic types in relation to the different provenance contexts will be stressed in order to give a contribution towards the building up of a chronological framework at a regional level.
