Résumé :

This contribution presents a 3rd and 4th century ceramic assemblage from Apamea. It focuses mainly on Brittle Ware (Syrian cooking ware) and on calcareous plain wares. Starting from this context in Apamea, we shall extend the discussion to wares of north-western Syria and in the Euphrates region. As far as Brittle Ware is concerned, the study will show that there is a great technological and morphological homogeneity, despite the existence of several workshops (sharing a common "savoir-faire"). The plain wares are less well documented. They seem to be regionally produced and distributed, there being differences in traditions between western Syria and the Euphrates region. This phenomenon becomes less apparent in the 6th and 7th centuries AD.
