Çatalhöyük: Artifact 7

Clay Pots

     Many of the cups, bowls, and pots found in the city of Catal Huyuk were baked clay or painted plaster. Archaeologists think they may have found what might be evidence of kilns in the ancient city. All pieces seemed to have a reddish pigment to them. One can tell cups apart from everything else, because of the pinched corners.
