THE POTTERY
This one and a number of other ceramic objects date back to the time before the potter's wheel was introduced. By using patterns with incised lines the ancient master sought to increase the expressiveness of the figurine. If we assume it is a realistic representation, then at the time it was executed men must have worn small caps, large scarves, and beards. Their clothes must have been made of skin. The climate must have been cold. To my amateur eye, Lake Town pottery belongs to the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) culture. The latter receives mention by Ryan and Pitman.
Todor Dimov identifies it as an "anthropomorphous lidded vessel from tomb No 827 of the necropolis at Durankulak (the beginning of the 5th millennium B.C.) - culture Hamangia III ".

FIREPOTS
The inhabitants of Lake Town favoured food being kept warm while served. They would offer the cooked meal in a dish rested on a specially made heat-keeping pot. These pots are bottomless.

ANOTHER FIREPOT
The variety of clay braziers found is so great that one can readily make the conclusion that the inhabitants of Lake Town attached great importance to the function of these items.
ONE MORE FIREPOT
I am displaying this one for the sake of "assortment".
WICKER MATTING
The population of Lake Town was familiar with network/wickerwork. They used it in building walls and fences, in making garments, and mats. They probably used nets for fishing too.
THE SPECIAL SERVING DISH
It is the size of a modern soup-plate. However, it is supplied with a hollow base. This find leads us to conclude that the dining table (even a low one) was superfluous. One had to merely be seated on a low stool or straight on the floor. The chamber in the base of the utensil used to be filled with live embers and so the meal was kept warm. The Lake Town people (remember the firepots) appear to have had the habit of taking long meals.
