It was located on the north slope of the tell, in the 4000 Cemetery area, not far from the main source of water. From the pottery that was left behind, it appears that operations here ceased when Level VI was destroyed in the mid12th century BCE (Tufnell et al. 1958:293; Ussishkin 1983:170). Inside the cave were three small pits and a subterranean chamber with steps leading to the bottom (fig. 14). Heaps of raw material, including prepared clay, crushed lime and shells, charcoal, and lumps of red and yellow ochre, were found on the floor, in Pit A and in the subterranean chamber (Pit B) (Tufnell et al 1958:91, 292).
The sunken chamber, Pit B, evidently served as a drying room and storage area. At the bottom of the steps was a stone mortar c. 50 cm in diameter and on the floor were finished bowls of various kinds (1958:91, 292, 293). Pits C and D appear to be emplacements for potters' wheels (see pp. 21-22 above). Ethnographic Evidence. The organization and day-to-day operation of workshops by families and small groups involved in the commercial production of pottery in contemporary peasant societies cannot have differed significantly from that of ancient Palestine.
The divider walls were coated with 6—8 em. of the same yellow clay. In the center of the area was a circular depression, with a diameter of c. 50 m and a depth of 15-18 cm. It sloped gently from the general floor level toward a bottom of stones (Pritchard 1975:74; 1978:120). Scattered about the area were various remains from the potters' work: piles of finely levigated yellow clay, basins of various sizes and shapes, a forming tool (Pritchard 1975: fig. 7) and, adjacent to the nearby kilns, heaps of 'waster* sherds from vessels that had been ruined in the firing process (Pritchard 1975:19; 1978:111, 113).
