Add to album

This undecorated ceramic pot was found at Slap at Turriff in Aberdeenshire in a cist grave. It had probably contained a food offering. Included in the photo are six unburnt flint flakes which were buried as grave goods and one of the bones of the corpse.

Pottery / Beaker

From around 2500 BC, individual burial, usually in a cist, a rectangular stone box-shaped grave, became popular over much of Scotland. In most cases, the only item to be buried with the dead was a pot containing an offering of food or drink.
