Women and children
2. JUG
This jug belonged to the dishes, because of its fine material and surface treatment, but
they probably didn”t drink out of it, it must have been more of a jug.
10. LOOM WEIGHTS
These clay objects were attached to the bottom of the loom”s vertical threads, this way
they were able to maintain a constant tension of the threads, which ensured an even
weaving of the material.
24-25. GRINDING STONE (WITH TODAY”S SO-CALLED BARE WHEAT)
They rubbed the cleaned grain with the smaller stone into the bigger stone back and forth
until they achieved the adequate fine flour.
26. BOWL (CHARRED WITH BRONZE-AGE CHAFF WHEAT)
Originally this bowl could have been hanged, but when its (double) ear broke off, the
remaining parts were smoothed down and they continued to use the bowl.
30. BOWL
This belongs to the most common bowl types in the Bronze-age.
32. LID
They found less lids from the Bronze-age, compared to other kinds of vessel types,
maybe because one lid could have belonged to more than one pot, or they used less
often clay lids, rather than the ones made out of organic material, for example wood.
33. SIEVE
Before firing this little dish they pierced it densely, so it became a sieve pot and they
could make curd or cheese in it.
36-39. CHILDREN TOYS
These small „toys” are the scaled down copies of the everyday clay objects, the making
of these was more time consuming, so it was more likely that they used them in a
peaceful, calm settled lifestyle.
49. ANDIRON OR FIREDOG
This solid, heavy clay object was used near a fire, they could have supported something
with it, or it could have been a pad.
57. A PIECE OF DAUB
On this burnt out piece of wall has imprints from branches, which by weaving between
the posts formed the wall together, and on top of that a clay mix with straw and cow
manure, the daub was plastered.
58. A PLASTIC ORNAMENTED VESSEL
This clay pot that displays femininity can portray the goddess of fertility or the goddess
who protects crops, and it was found in a pit, broken with fragments of other vessel”s
fragments.

The Bronze-Age people not only made everyday objects out of bone, clay, stone, and
teeth, but also jewellery too.
74. STONE WRIST PROTECTOR
This small, flat object protected the fighter”s wrist from the recurve bow”s strike.
77. BONE NEEDLE

knitting needle too.

180. COOKING POT
According to the assumptions they made porridge in the clay pot.

toys.

259. BONE AWL

been used as body piercing.

decorative items.
