The pottery assemblage of Palace G includes locally produced Table and Preservation Wares, which constitute the greatest portion of the documentation, while Kitchen Ware is relatively less numerous. The pottery assemblage of Palace G finds comparisons in the few sites of the region of Ebla that have been excavated and that produced pottery of the same period. The publication of the pottery assemblages of important cemeteries in the Tabqa Dam region and a few important sites, and new evidence from the Karkemish Dam area and eastern steppes have now substantially improved ones knowledge and identification of the pottery provinces.
