The text explains: So-called fruit bowls were the most important group of finds at the Bireçik Early Bronze Age graveyard. They emerged in the region during the Late Chalcolithic Age, Uruk Culture, and have been extensively used throughout the Early Bronze Age. They were not for daily use, but purposely made for graves. The form of the container changed over time and is indicative of the period in which they were made, i.e. first or second half of the Early Bronze Age period.
