Context (Found together / assemblage)
Sieveking notes: 'The remaining votive deposits consist of one or more cord-impressed vessels of advanced design, usually in perfect condition, found near to and at approximately the same depth as the fragmentary burials, and not related in any way to the early Neolithic level. Three of the pottery groups are associated with miniature quadrangular polished stone chisels.'
