FINDS - Pottery
Pottery was collected from the 4040, South Summit, South and TP Areas under excavation this season from deposits within buildings, rooms and midden like accumulations. 3124 sherds were registered this season and 17 units were fast scanned. It was a very productive season in terms of noting differences in the pottery assemblage at related areas in horizontal and vertical terms. Building 47 represents late levels of the Neolithic on the north part of the mound whilst TP indicated different (and maybe later) characteristics such as organic + mineral tempered assemblages. Although we can see the latest Neolithic and maybe earliest Chalcolithic pottery tradition in the TP Area, Levels IV-0 have not yet been defined in current excavation areas. |
