This article presents the pottery from the Abbasid and Crusader periods uncovered in Area B of the Aviv Hotel excavations in Tiberias. The site is situated within the precincts of the Abbasid town, but outside the walled city of the Crusader period. The Abbasid-period assemblage consists mainly of types well-known in Tiberias, reinforcing other evidence concerning pottery production in Tiberias during this period. The pottery from the Crusader period (mid-twelfth–early thirteenth centuries CE) includes glazed bowls from the Aegean region, and possibly cooking ware and glazed bowls from Beirut. Among the imported glazed bowls are two examples of broad-incised sgraffito, also known as ‘Byzantine Incised Sgraffito Ware’ or ‘Aegean Wares’, one of which is decorated with an incised design of a warrior. The imported pottery probably arrived at the site by inland routes, possibly from the port of ‘Akko. The pottery was found outside the city walls, in conjunction with plastered pools and sugar-production vessels, apparently indicating an activity that was carried out outside the city.
