Beaded ceramic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beaded ceramics from the single-phase residential area Östra Ljungby in Skåne provided the temporal classification of this vessel shape in the late Neolithic . The ceramic type is evidenced by four high, barrel-shaped vessels, with bulges and simple horizontal lines as decoration, as a presumed settlement find in the parish of Nosaby in Skåne. However, it is not about ceramics that were produced using the bead technique.

Clay vessels with one or more bulges below the mouth represent a shape that has also emerged in other parts of Sweden . In the upper layers of the Stora Förvar cave on Stora Karlsö , ( Gotland ), fragments of almost straight-walled, coarse vessels with a flat bottom and a bulge under the rim were recovered. Similar finds were made on the pit ceramic settlement near Västerbjers, also on Gotland. Both finds probably come from the early late Neolithic . They show that pit ceramic settlements in the late Neolithic continued to exist for a while, at least regionally. The simple bead-decorated pottery was also observed in some of the Småland stone boxes and in the megalithic stone box at Dragby in Uppland .

Beaded ceramics can also be found on the Kümpfen of the band ceramists (Merzbachtal) and the French Seine-Oise-Marne culture (SOM culture). Similar vessels occur in an older cultural context in Finland and Poland . Gotlandic finds may have a connection to Poland.
