Comment	In Middle Neolithic/Final Neolithic I or maybe at the beginning of Late Neolithic/Final Neolithic II (Evans/Tomkins) funnel-necked vessels (Zylinderhalsgefäße) with scored walls were found. These as well as several lugs and handles find parallels in stratum III at Knossos. Undoubtedly belonging in the Late Neolithic/Final Neolithic (Evans/Tomkins) are vessels with pointillé decoration and/or vertically pierced handles.
