Neolithic clay spoons
Neolithic clay spoons are a species found in megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) in Denmark - z. B. in the passage grave of Stenseby on Bornholm , in the temple on the Tustrup burial ground in Djursland - and in Sweden - z. B. in a passage grave of Västra Hoby in Skåne and in the settlement of Rörby / Tossene in Bohuslän - was found.
The spade-shaped and plate-shaped, decorated bowls of the spoons have spout-like sleeves to hold a round, presumably wooden handle. The surrounding border decoration consisted of filled angular patterns, zigzag patterns and concentric indented grooves .
Since wood was used in a different context, wooden vessels and undecorated wooden spoons have also been found at some Danish finds from the Stone Age.
Clay spoons have also been found on Neolithic sites of the Lengyel culture (Leonding, Mellach), the Baden culture , the Münchshöfen culture and the Pollinger group .
