Poorly fired pottery has been reported occasionally (more often informally in conversation than formally in print) from other Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites and they have usually been relegated by the excavator to being the products of accidental firing, no doubt primarily for the lack of evidence to the contrary. However, in this case it is highly likely that the original vessel from which these sherds derive was purposely fired, however poorly. One of the three sherds is a rim sherd with a small manufactured hole just below the rim. Thus, the original vessel appears to have been a pottery copy of an otherwise typical stone bowl, complete with the typical opposed small suspension holes placed just below the rim. A hole produced for such suspesion, or any other functional purpose which required the hole to be threaded, would quickly wear through in an unfired vessel, which strongly implies that the vessel was intentionally fired.
