02-09-05 I am copy and style editing this article, which has not had much attention since its creation. Some areas of the original article seem to lack complete sentences or don't quite make sense. I'm presently unfamiliar with the all research details cited, so will try to leave the "factual" material unaffected. In particular, I am trying to move from the plural 1st person "we" to the more academic 2nd or 3rd person and improving the sentence structure. Comments welcome -- please correct any historical errors.

Does anyone else think this article would be better as simply "Pottery in Palestine?"

I agree that the title is clumsy. Perhaps a better title would be "southern Levantine pottery"? Bporter615 23:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits

Your recent material provides some very good information but please take the time to look over some Wikipedia conventions about style, in particular things like internal links. By removing previous material (admittedly not very good), you are also removing the article's ties to related articles and materials. This effectively isolates the article and makes it more difficult to "move around" the Wikipedia structure. Large scale edits like this are awkward for other editors, and may lead to concerns over Wiki's copyright restrictions. If you have more material to immediately contribute, I won't do any copy editing or "clean up" toward Wiki style until you are finished. Thanks for your interest in this long abandoned article.
