Bowls with everted rim were found inside
houses also, in their original place of use, or near
it. Examples from house 1_2008 are most in-
structive for contextual analysis since seven of
them were found inside. Bowls were almost en-
tirely preserved, and are secondary burnt. They
were placed either near the oven, or near the out-

near the oven in the house 1_2014 also (Figure 8;

the largest one with area of 15x15 meters.

2 Waste pits investigated during the 2015 season were filled with
chronologically older material, which resulted in the low number
of collected bowls with everted rim.
