J. Burlot, S.Y. Waksman, Provenances and production techniques of the so-called “Port Saint Symeon Ware” (13th-early 14th century AD) from Kinet Höyük (Cilicia, Turkey): witnessing interactions in medieval north-eastern Mediterranean, Archaeometry, 1-21, https://doi.org/10.1111/arcm.12726 (2021)
In this paper, archaeometric analyses of "Port St Symeon Ware", found in Kinet Höyük (Turkey) mainly, suggest that potters selected specific materials to obtain off-white slips, visually and technically close to the synthetic ones in use in the Islamic world. Besides, chemical analyses of the bodies point out a main workshop involved in long-distance trade, out of many located in the area of the gulf of Iskenderun and the region of Antioch which manufactured similar wares.
