The contours of academic and elite interest since the advent of archaeology have created a situation in which less is known about the Levant during the recent four centuries, 1516-1918, than for any other comparable span since the beginning of the Early Bronze Age. Helping to change that, archaeologists here report on findings of pottery in the region during that Ottoman period, and its significance as a foundation on which modern society is founded. Among the topics are an ethno-archaeological approach illustrated in an application to Gaza Gray Ware, preliminary observations from central and northern Jordan, and stability and change in Ottoman coarse wares in Cyprus.
