One of the most important powers of the ancient Middle East in the first millennium BC was Neo-Assyrian Empire. The pottery of this period is the most recognized archaeological evidence, which is classified by previous studies into two main forms, “Standard ware” and “Palace ware.” The unique characteristics of form and function distinguish the pottery from the other sorts of previous and later times. Furthermore, various regions of the empire’s vast territory display specific characteristics of pottery. In such a way, the combination of the distinctive pottery of the empire in the main domain with the local pottery causes a unique type of pottery that is different from the local ones and has specific typological affinities to the imperial pottery.
The main issue of this research is to identify the indices of Neo-Assyrian pottery in the west and northwest of Iran. In this regard, Neo-Assyrian pottery on the western, central, and eastern regions of the empire has been library studied and compared with those of Iron Age sites in the west and northwest of Iran. The broached questions that require to be answered are the determination of the indices of Neo-Assyrian pottery in the west and northwest of Iran and the types of Neo-Assyrian pottery which have been obtained in the west and northwest of Iran. The results reveal that Neo-Assyrian “Standard ware” has been identified in the western, central, and eastern regions, but the “Palace ware” has not been found in the eastern regions. The typology and comparison of Neo-Assyrian “Standard ware” indicate that this type of pottery exists in the west and northwest of Iran. Since the recognition of Neo-Assyrian pottery is of crucial importance for researchers of the Iron Age in the west and northwest of Iran, a regular and comprehensive typological model of common and distinctive Neo-Assyrian pottery has been codified in this research.
