This ware is common at Kinet Höyük at coastal Cilicia. The most common shapes in it are deep neckless cooking pots with vertical handles attached at shoulder and mid wall. Casseroles occur on occasion. In terms of thickness, color, and shapes this ware has more in common with cooking wares of inland Anatolia than it does with the thinner walled, brittle or sandy cooking wares of the Levantine coast.
Somewhat soft, coarse, brittle fabric with many small to medium angular and sub angular white inclusions, rare large angular white and brown inclusions, and frequent voids. Fired brown (5YR 4/3) or gray brown on surface (7.5YR 5/2) often with a wide fuzzy yellow brown core (10YR 5/3). Shapes attested include neckless cooking pots with
flattened rims and rounded rims, and casseroles with upcurved rounded and ledge rims. Vessels range in thickness from 0.3 – 0.8cm, but thicker (0.5 – 0.8cm)...
