Comment carinated pots with well burnished surfaces: fired in reducing conditions; the used organic tempered paste increases to 35-40%. Mica inclusions appear together with thin vegetal temper, e.g. on highly burnished Black Burnished ware; more organic temper was used, which caused lighter vessels that were more porose: new motifs and decorative techniques: mainly incised triangular geometric patterns, sometimes filled with dots or wave-like patterns, sometimes a combination of those two; two main decorative techniques: either the surface was incised while the paste was leather-hard, or a fine shallow grooving was executed by excising strips of clay (--> used more frequently with the appearance of "Gelveri-type" pottery) other techniques to produce vessels: moulding (in moulding, baskets give their shape to the main body of the vessel), pinching, slabbing, coiling, but lesser than before. the pottery can also be compared to Can Hasan 2B and Catalhöyük II-I after 6000 cal. BC;
