Abstract
Multiple vessel types were analyzed petrographically, including bowls, cornets, pithoi and jars. The analyzed pottery was arranged into three petrographic groups: Group A, of local clay, comprised most of the assemblage; one jar was made of marl of the nearby Moẓa Formation (Group B); and one holemouth jar was identified as the Moẓa Formation clay member (Group C). The petrographic data widens our understanding of cultural interconnections and exchange patterns during the Chalcolithic period.
