carinated necked jars occur for the first time; for large carinated jars, the slabbing and moulding technique was used (moulding: baskets provide the shape for the the main body of the vessel)
anthropomorphic and zoomorphic relief-decor occurs on red slipped carinated jars in Level 3 (upper part): they show scenes of daily life (e.g. breeding cattle and goats, hunting wild species or aspects o subsistence ecoomy)
Especially in Level 3 upper phase the organic tempered paste increases to 35-40%. Mica inclusions appear together with thin vegetal temper, e.g. on highly burnished Black Burnished ware. The previous chevron decor is replaced by incisions. Red slipped ware increases, and 2 different sorts of slip occur: either coarse reddish slip, or a thin close to purplish red slip, both fired under highly oxidizing conditions;
dark surfaced vessels and Black Burnished vessels were fired under reducing conditions; 
the coiling method is almost gone in Level 3 and only used to shape rims or necks; there is a larger variety in techniques than before: pinching (for simple shapes), slab building or beating to shape larger vessels.
at the very end of Level 3, incised geometric decor occurs;
