Dark faced burnished ware

[1][2] It was produced after the earliest examples from the independent phenomenon of the Jōmon culture in Japan and is predominantly found at archaeological sites in Lebanon, Israel southwest Syria[3][4][5][6] and Cyprus.

[7] Some notable examples of dark faced burnished ware were found at Tell Judaidah (and nearby Tell Dhahab) in Amuq by Robert Braidwood as well as at Ras Shamra and Tell Boueid.

[9] It is thought to have come as a development of White Ware and takes its name from the often dark coloured choice of clays from which it is made.

Vessels are often coarse, tempered with grit or sand, burnished to a shiny finish and made with a variety of clays in different areas.

[11] Decorations included incised or impressed chevrons or motifs with pattern burnishing appearing in later periods.
