<br/><br/> Focuses on pottery, establishing a cultural and ceramic sequence and chronology from the Final Copper Age to the Early Bronze Age (c.4050 BC - 2000 BC). From the evidence of these, and from metallurgy, burials and anthropomorphic figurines, the author detects settlement pattern, subsistence mode, social strategies and cultural interactions.
