Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the pottery style found in Cyprus from the Late Neolithic period beginning around 4500 BCE through the Chalcolithic period ending around 2300 BCE. The style, one of the first indigenous ones to emerge in Cyprus, went through several stages of development but is generally characterized by handmade vessels, most commonly thick walled bowls and handleless flasks, decorated with red paint.
