The goal of this multidisciplinary study was to determine whether there was continuity or change in ceramic production and consumption in the southern Levant between the Fatimid and the Crusader periods, in relation to the arrival of new populations having different cultural backgrounds and dietary habits. It combines the results of our previous studies with new chemical and petrographic analyses, in order to examine the productions of local pottery workshops, their typological repertoire and their markets. The results detail the developments that occurred in the local pottery production with the establishment of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
