Among the ceramics excavated at the Tell Abu-Hawam Late Bronze anchorage was an unusual group at first identified as part of the enigmatic ‘Barbarian Ware’ family. Eventually it became clear that it is a member of the Cypriot cooking ware tradition. While the Eastern Mediterranean coastal cooking wares tend to be of the Canaanite tradition, those of the Cypriot tradition were also a substantial group of ceramics in the Domestic Quarter at Ugarit/Ras Shamra. The ware is identified, discussed and compared to materials observed at other coastal Eastern Mediterranean sites and Cyprus.
