| Comment | The majority of the Gusir Höyük small finds consist of grinding stones and pierced stones which are abundant in all phases. Basalt grinding-stones are particularly large in size and all are heavily worn. Some roughly shaped, pierced Iimestone artifacts ofvarious sizes have been recovered; their functions are not clear. There are also a number of roughly shaped limestone vessels, pestles shaped as animal heads, hand stones, mortars, and stone pIugs; bone awls are also numerous. A stone found on the periphery of the excavation site is decorated on one side and grooved on the other, bearing a particular similarity to the Körtik Tepe decorated grooved stones. A rich and varied artefactual assemblage has been recovered in association with the burials. |
