"so-called Midianite pottery"[edit]

A lot of sources call it "so-called".[1] Some of these (and other) sources are also unhappy the the name, in part because archaeologists are often concerned about equating a pottery style with an ethnic group.[2]this also gives alternate names this says "Qurayyah Painted Ware (QPW; originally called ‘Midianite’ pottery) has been, since then, strictly associated with the Hejaz region (known in Biblical and later sources as Midian)" Doug Weller talk 19:10, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
