| Comment | beakers: sometimes burnished (when fine ware); A globular beaker with a flaring neck was found in a child's grave that had been dug into the side wall of a cylindrical storage pit. It was decorated with the "yıldırım" motif in red/brown on an unburnished buff surface. buckets: belonged to the most common type, were unburnished, coarse, large, thick-walled and had a flat base; a pot was found in an adult double burial south of building A41; some pottery fragments were found in a dumping area for workshops; pottery vessels were found in the graves; The Late Neolithic pottery was the first painted one here. It could be light cream or orange, well fired and sand-tempered. Sometimes a thin red coating (wash) was applied to make the surface color uniform. Motifs: simple geometric (chevrons, vertical parallel or crossing bands, dots, hooks) motifs were applied to the unburnished surface in a dense red/brown color, mostly widely spaced, sometimes consisting only of a band around the rim. The paint was mostly applied per hand or by means of a brush-like tool that left drops and spots of color between the motifs. The decoration was laid out rationally (separating or highlighting various parts of the vessel, e.g. rims were highlighted by a thick band, the neck often had straight vertical bands). The "yıldırım" motif was recurrent (usually "waving" vertically from a horizontal band). Few impressed decoration, more marked chromatic effect than previously (brown or black ware with white paste-filled dots or incisions in geometric spaces); painted motifs were never combined with impressed motifs in the same decorative pattern. |
