Céramiques des forteresses croisées, ismaéliennes, ayyoubides et mameloukes de Syrie du Nord

A comprehensive analysis of ceramic artifacts from northern Syrian fortresses reveals distinct regional, cultural, and economic patterns shaped by the successive occupation of these sites. The study, conducted on ceramics unearthed from Crac des Chevaliers, Qal’at Salah El-Din, and other fortified structures, highlights how geographical location—whether coastal, mountainous, or in the Orontes Valley—influenced ceramic production and trade during the 11th to 15th centuries. This period saw control transitioning between Crusaders, Ismaelites, Ayyubids, and Mamluks, with each group leaving a unique imprint on the material culture. The research employs comparative analysis of ceramic assemblages to uncover these historical dynamics, providing new insights into the socio-economic landscape of medieval Syria.
