Abstract :
Potters’ marks have been a much-discussed topic since their first detection in Urartian sites. As part of Urartian culture, the discussion of their meanings has been the focus of interest so far. Long-term investigations at the Aramus Fortress confirm their use in the Urartian period and, based on the stratigraphic results, suggest a typo-chronological sequence of pot marks. Considering the inaccuracy of radiocarbon dating for this period, the new evidence improves the chronological classification of Middle Iron Age sites.
