Comment most pottery was burnished, gritty ware; buff to brown in the earlier phase, dark-brown in the later phase of the Early Neolithic; sometimes it had impressed decor (made b fingernails, points of various shapes, spatulas, shells or combs); pottery is similar to those in the earliest levels at Mezraa-Teleilat and Akarcay Tepe, in the Urfa district
