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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

30. BOWL
This belongs to the most common bowl types in the Bronze-age.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

36-39. CHILDREN TOYS
These small \u201etoys\u201d 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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

73. BONE MEDAL WITH BONE-CLAY-STONE AND TOOTH BEADS
The Bronze-Age people not only made everyday objects out of bone, clay, stone, and
teeth, but also jewellery too.<\/p>

74. STONE WRIST PROTECTOR
This small, flat object protected the fighter”s wrist from the recurve bow”s strike.<\/p>

77. BONE NEEDLE
This pierced bone needle could have been a hair or clothes accessory, perhaps a fine net
knitting needle too.<\/p>

91. BRONZE BRACELET
The bracelet was found in a little girl”s tomb with other jewellery and pots.<\/p>

180. COOKING POT
According to the assumptions they made porridge in the clay pot.<\/p>

183. ANGULAR POT
We don”t know the object”s function, but according to the archaeologists this angular pot
could be the model (the upper part) of a cart.<\/p>

254. PIERCED SHELL
This shaped piece of shell, decorated with drillings, could have been used as a jewellery,
or possibly a clothing accessory.<\/p>

255. PIERCED BONE PLATE
This shaped piece of bone decorated with drillings could have been used as jewellery, or
possibly as a clothing accessory.<\/p>

256. FURNACE\/HEARTH MOCK-UP
We often meet with miniature copies of utility items, which could have been children”s
toys.<\/p>

257. BONE TOKEN
This bone object could be some kind of game prop.<\/p>

258. SKIN SCRAPER FROM RIB BONE
They used it to process and clean the raw leather.<\/p>

259. BONE AWL
This bone tool was used for punching holes.<\/p>

260. DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES
These tools were suitable for punching, but based on the assumptions they could have
been used as body piercing.<\/p>

261. BONE CLOTHES NEEDLES
These variously shaped and decorated needles were used as clothes pins, also as
decorative items.<\/p>

262. BONE SEWING-NEEDLE
These bone needles were used for sewing textiles and leathers.<\/p>

263. FAIENCE BEADS
Clay beads with special compositions, after firing became shiny surfaced, and they made
jewellery out of them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
