This paper aimed at obtaining information on workshops and on the distribution of the products. In Syria, ninety percent of the analysed samples belong to only six groups corresponding to six workshops, excepting Palmyra where a local workshop exists. No sample of this workshop was detected on any other site and very few samples found in Palmyra could be attributed to one of the six Syrian groups. The data for two groups of Brittle Ware found in Beirut are also given in a table. Illustrations of those shapes and of the main Syrian types from the Hellenistic to early Islamic periods are shown. Several workshops produced the same shapes and shared a similar technology using non-calcareous clays, probably from terra rossa. One centre is assumed to be located west of Aleppo, another near Apamea.
