Reconstruction Drawing of Bronze Age Pottery

Reconstruction drawing of a Bronze Age (2600-700BC) food vessel (left), Collared Urn (centre) and incense pot (right). The food vessel would have been used for cooking. Collared Urns were used for cremations. After death people were cremated (burnt) and their ashes were placed in the large urn, which was then buried (often upside down) in the ground. The small pot may have been used for burning incense.
