This is one of the
most commonly used fabrics within Tarsus-Gözlükule repertoire for the duration
of the 3rd millennium BCE (Early Bronze Age Period).
The vessels of this
group are generally medium fired with some exceptions reaching high fired
stage. They are fired under oxidizing conditions, but during Early Bronze III,
some members of this fabric group are subjected to reducing firing conditions.
The fabric profile
of this group is generally calcareous with calcite being the main component,
but in some cases also shell and micrite particles can be observed. Quartz and
feldspar (including plagioclase feldspars) are the most commonly attested inclusions.
Mica minerals also occur. Metamorphic rocks like quartzite and schist are
present in some of the samples.
