Recipe Details
Preparation Steps
During the Late Bronze Age II at Alalakh, red paint was used primarily for geometric motifs such as horizontal bands and hatched triangles on closed ceramic shapes (p. 269). These designs were often used in combination with other motifs and were aligned with the 14th century BC local pottery assemblage (p. 269).

Remarks
The study focuses on the transition of pottery styles from the Late Bronze Age II to the Iron Age in the Amuq Valley. Red paint is noted as a less common decoration in the LBA II phase compared to later Iron Age developments where painted decoration became more popular (p. 269).
