Midianite pottery, also known as “Qurayya ware” is a ware type found in the Hejaz (northwestern Saudi Arabia), southern and central Jordan, southern Israel and the Sinai, generally dated to the 13th-12th centuries BCE, although later dates are also possible.
 It was discovered during the 1930s by Nelson Glueck in his surveys in southern Jordan and his excavations at Tell el-Kheleifeh in the southern Arabah valley.
 Glueck identified these wares as Iron Age II Edomite pottery.
 During his surveys and excavations in the Arabah in the late 1950s and 1960s, Beno Rothenberg found similar decorated wares; and after the discovery at Timna valley of the several Egyptian findings belonging to the 19th and 20th Dynasties, Rothenberg dated this pottery to the 13th-12th centuries BC.
 Petrographic studies carried out on some of the Timna wares led to the conclusion that they originated in the Hejaz, most probably in the site of Qurayya.
 Midianite bowls bear some resemblance in form with the Iron Age Negevite pottery bowls.
The art of Mesopotamia has survived in the archaeological record from early hunter-gatherer societies (10th millennium BC) on to the Bronze Age cultures of the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires.
 These empires were later replaced in the Iron Age by the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires.
 Widely considered to be the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia brought significant cultural developments, including the oldest examples of writing.
To understand past cultures archaeologists analyze many artifacts.
 Pottery proves to be of most importance to the archaeological record.
 Pottery is durable and even allows its broken fragments to withstand time, which would otherwise decompose other artifacts.
 More importantly, the style of pottery often changes through time, and shifts in shape, size, or decoration can be used to resolve the age of the artifact and/or site.
 Furthermore, though pottery is common, different cultures had their own distinct styles that can be used to determine its similarities or differences with one another.
 Therefore, even fragments of pottery can reconstruct many facets of past cultures.
1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed is a nonfiction ancient history book written by Eric H. Cline and published in 2014 by Princeton University Press.
 The book focuses on his hypothesis for the Late Bronze Age collapse of civilization, a transition period that affected the Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites, Cypriots, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Assyrians and Babylonians; varied heterogeneous cultures populating eight powerful and flourishing states intermingling via trade, commerce, exchange and "cultural piggybacking", despite "all the difficulties of travel and time".
 He presents evidence to support a "perfect storm" of "multiple interconnected failures", meaning that more than one natural and man-made cataclysm caused the disintegration and demise of an ancient civilization that incorporated "empires and globalized peoples".
 This ended the Bronze Age, and ended the Mycenaean, Minoan, Trojan, Hittite, and Babylonian cultures.
 Before this book, the leading hypothesis during previous decades attributed the civilization collapse mostly to Sea Peoples of unknown origin.

Jan Gunneweg, is a member of the Archaeometry Task-force Unit at the Institute of Archaeology of the Humanities Faculty of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
 He began research at the University in 1973 completing his Ph.D. in the Archaeometry Unit of the institution in 1981.
 He became a Lecturer in 1983, and Senior Lecturer in 1988.
 His major research interest is in discovering the place of manufacture of pottery and parchment through the use of neutron activation analysis and synchrotron radiation.
 He has been particularly interested in finding the place of origin of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the jars that contained them in Gunneweg and Balla 2003,2006,2010 & 2012 in.
 Other interests include research into the ancient preparation of parchment and ink as used in the Dead Sea scrolls.
 Gunneweg organized three workshops, two at the Hebrew University Science Campus in 2005 and 2010, whereas the third one in 2008 at the Lorentz Centre for Physics and Mathematics at Leiden University (Netherlands) as a NIAS and Lorentz fellow for the year 2007-2008.
 During two Sabbaticals in 1989 and 1996 at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory In Berkeley, California, he worked on the digitizing of neutron activation data obtained at LBL in the 1960s and 70s.
 More research was focused on the place of origin of Iron Age pottery associated with the first Iron Age settlements in the Israel highlands, the Philistines and the Mycenaean IIIA Chariot Krater and other Mycenaean pottery, found at Akko and Tel Dan.
 Also the origin of Nabatean and Eastern Terra Sigillata pottery have been studied and published At present, Gunneweg is particularly interested in promoting the protection of Cultural Heritage in which he lectured at the ESRF in Grenoble, SESAME at Allan, ELETTRA, Trieste, Daresbury and the CLS at Saskatoon in order to lay the foundations of a collaboration between Science and Humanities and Social Sciences, which he has dubbed Trans-disciplinary an approach that transcendents the borders/limits of any discipline.
