| Izvleček: | The excavation and survey conducted at the settlement of Bir Shawish in the years 2003–2013 revealed twelve kilns. The kilns were most likely focused on pottery production, but limestone reduction represents in some cases a feasible option. The kilns are situated in the immediate vicinity of four structures identified as houses. Some six kilns were documented and represent the main body of the present study. Two were excavated and enabled clear typological division, and the remaining four were described based on the observations of the remains visible on the surface. |
