Ceramics-
The ceramic forms present at Lefkandi represent forms from the proto-geometric and geometric stages. These stages are characterized by designs consisting of geometric shapes.
The designs and patterns vary in intricacy.
Other interesting Ceramic finds include vases and other forms with pictoral representations on them:
these pieces break the trend of the Proto-Geometric and Geometric forms.
Due to the large amount of ceramic objects uncovered at Lefkandi, many questions previously unanswered about ceramic change in the Aegean, as well as new styles and decorations have been unearthed. Pottery is also very interesting because a lot can be learned from it. For instance, the discovery of Lefkandi and the pottery therein has helped to identify what Jeremy Rutter terms an “east to west migration across the central and western Anatolian Early Bronze Age.” This migration can be identified by looking at the types of fabric or material the ceramics were made of as well as looking at the style in which they were made. A continuity thus exists in which one can identify a procession of change.

In their preliminary excavation report, Popham et al. outlines some of the distinct forms of pottery discovered at Lefkandi:

-The pottery of the Early Bronze Age was mainly wheel made and consisted of fine cores, even fireing, and light clay. This pottery most resembles that of Anatolia.

- After this style, the preliminary report states that the trend moved into grey minyan ware. These included new patterns, as well as new coarse household ware including cooking pots.

- The principle shape of pottery during these two periods was a deep - medium deep bowl.
- As they continued the excavation, Popham and his colleauges began to find more ceramic artifacts with grooved decoration

- Another stage in ceramic development was the appearance of a goblet with a pedestal.

Throughout the entire excavation, the primary shape found was that of the bowl. This is interesting to note, especially in light of the fact that most of the artifacts were recovered from tombs.

Is it possible that cookingware, and other household items were of importance during this period, or could it just be that they were very common and therefore easy to give?
