Amiran's "Black Juglet" Typology

Pl. 86, 12-13 & p. 263, photo 262. Black juglets of Iron IIA–B (c. 1000–800 BCE) in the north have a long neck and handle drawn from the middle of the neck. They perhaps tend toward a clear ovoid or fusiform shape with button- or disc-base and straight neck and rim.


Pl. 86, 12: Black juglet, blue-black hand burnished, Megiddo V
Pl. 86, 13: Juglet, red*, Far'ah (N) III
     *Juglets of other colors (primarily red) with the forms standard for black juglets are still categorized as "black juglets."

--------------

Pl. 87, 13 & p. 263, photo 263. Black juglets of Iron IIA–B (c. 1000–800 BCE.) in the south have a long neck and handle drawn from the neck below the rim. They perhaps tend toward a more rounded or piriform shape.

Pl. 87, 13: Juglet, brown-red*, vertically burnished, Beth Mirsim B
     *Juglets of other colors (primarily red) with the forms standard for black juglets are still categorized as "black juglets."

--------------

Pl. 88, 19, pl. 89, 22, and p. 263, photo 264. Black juglets of Iron IIC (c. 800–587 BCE) in the north and the south of Palestine have a short neck, handle drawn from the rim, and a small body. The later type of black juglet is more common in the south than in the north.

Pl. 88, 19: Black juglet, blue black, vertically burnished.
Pl. 89, 22: Juglet, grey.
Photo 264: ...evolved from the black juglets of the preceding period (Photos 262- 263); in the South as well as in the North, such juglets have a short neck, a handle drawn from the rim to the shoulder and a tiny body (No. 22) but the type is more common in the South than in the North.
