Bowls

Brief Overview

The definition of what is a bowl is the same for all units and all time periods in the UGR. See here for further details. In this time period the palace of Tupkish was no longer in use. This period had no massive architecture as in previous periods but did produce evidence of a relatively open area with burials especially in A10 and A16.

Round sided and straight sided bowls are being replaced by carinated bowls in this period. Deep bowls with an ovoid body shape continue in this phase (A14q794-p1); at the same time deep bowls with a cylindrical body shape increase as this bowl shape is more varied in this period and can have an applied or incised decoration on the upper body near the rim.
