W.F. Albright and the History of Pottery in Palestine
Abstract
The publication of the pottery of Tell Beit Mirsim by Albright was a watershed event in the history of archaeology in the region. The author looks at the history of the publication of pottery from the earliest days in the second half of the nineteenth century. On the way, he looks at the way researchers treated their pottery during excavation, how they drew and described the pots and potsherds and what sorts of interpretive goals they hoped to reach with their presentations.

Using narrow excavation trenches encompassing only very small areas of the site had major shortcomings for understanding any one occupational period at Jericho.
“While using narrow excavation trenches encompassing only very small areas of the site may have been a pragmatic method to probe and discover an overall stratigraphic profile of the site, this technique also had major shortcomings for understanding any one occupational period at Jericho”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
