Evidence
"the pottery dated to the Iron Age II sees the appearance of bichrome pottery... and an increase in the amount of pottery with surface decoration and treatment (red slip and burnished)."
Remarks
The Iron Age II pottery assemblage at Alalakh shows a strong increase in surface treatments compared to the Late Bronze Age II (p. 273). This 'Red Slipped Burnished Ware' became progressively more common through the Iron Age II–III, appearing on flat plates, rim bowls, and jars (p. 278).
