rnerous correlations regard ing the techniqu e of decoration.
Of interest is the existence of similar, often identical orna-
mental motifs and schemes. At the same time, there are dif-
ferences, which will be discussed elsewhere. They concern
the technological characteristic s ofthe vessels. the paste used.
the mixtures and the manner of burning. The analysis of the
material indicates they were different at the distinct sites, on
the one hand . On the othe r hand. there are some differe nces
\I ith respect to formal pecu liarities. Not all known fromTelish
shapes and types have direct correlati ons with Yunatsite, as
well as by some categories there are considerable differences.
Those conclusion s are based on the considerable part of the
whole vessel s and mass material from Tel ish II-III (unpub-
lished).
There are numerous and precise parallel s of the vessels at
Yunatsite with materia ls from Sitagroi Hlb, Sa lcura I-III,
Kolarovo I-II, Sadove ts. Kapitan Dimitrievo-Banyata MogiJa,
Bikovo, Krivodol, etc. Important are the analogies, which
originate from sites located in the eastern parts of Upper
Thrace. There are exact analogies of the mat erial from
Yunatsite at the last Chalkolithic levels at Karanovo, Sudievo,
Gulubovo - Asara, Mudrets - Gudzhova Mogila, etc.' Of in-
terest is the fact that the pottery from Yunat site has good
analogies among the mater ials in the western Balkan regions
- Kr ivodol-Salcuta complex, as we ll as among the Late
Chalkolithic sites from eastern Upper Thrace. Accordingly,
the prob lems of the ex istence of the so-called ' contact' or
' transit ion' zone occur of primary importa nce, as the mix-
ture of distinct elements and existence of cultural elements.
characteri stic of different geographical regions. In connec-
tion with that problem is the question of the manner and
ways of reali zation of the contacts between the di stinct re-
gions (Renfrew 1979). Unfortunately, there are no numerous
sites to be used for comparison of distinct complexes and
horizons with the met hods of the ' chain dating' in Upper
Thrace, whic h could allow elaboration of stable. based on
certain fact s relative chronology of the Late Chalkolith ic pe-
riod there. Recently. L. Ni kolova has e laborated a compend i-
ous investigation in this direction where the questions of the
relat ive and the absolute chronol ogy have been analyzed in
details, and a number of concl usions concerning the synchro-
nization of the distinct occurrences have been argued (Ni-
kol ova 1999: 71-89).
The key geographic posit ion of the Yunatsite tell is one of
the reasons the material from that site and especially the pot-
tery to take a considerable place in the future elabora tion of
preci se periodi zation and chronology of the Late Chalkolithic
in the Upper Thracian valley and Western Bulgar ia. The fac t
that a considerab le part ofthe vessels analyzed originate from
closed compl exes and have certain strat igraphic position. as
wel l as the preci se st rat igra phic obse rvatio n allow tell
Yunat site to be defined as a guide site for periodizat ion and
chronology ofthe Chalkolithic and Bronze Age cultures docu-
mented there.

Slipped surface
s-tr slip
The analysis of the ceramic mat eri al from the first and second
Chalkolithic building levels at Yunatsitc reveals the following types
of slip: fine slip; semi-tine slip. compact slip. colored slip. self-slip
and thin slip - wash.
Fine slip . Thin layer of li ne clay covers the surface of the vessels.
The slip is approximately 0.2-0.3 mm thick and it sometimes evenly
differs at the biscuit. As a rule. the slip is burnished homogeneou sly
or in strips, rarer there is evenly smoothing of the surface. The fine
slip is docume nted almost by all categories of vessels.
Semi-fi ne slip. It is mostly sitributed. The thinkness of the slip is
0.5 mm. Most of the semi-ti ne slip is evenly burnished. rarely there
is burnishi ng in strips and evenly burni shed surface.
Compact slip . It is thicker. up to 1 mm. It is clearly visible in the
biscuit of the vessels. The slip is almost always evenly burnished, in
some cases there it is burnished to shine. Smoothing and burnishing
in strips is very rarely distributed. mainly over the inner walls of the

oft en in strips. Some types of bowls and distinct closed shapes have
evenly smoothed inner surface. There are no instances of bur nishing
to shine.
\ Vash
The wash is very thin layer of tine clay. It occurred by thc burnishing
or smoothing of the vessels. which were only ' dipped' into or ' wash'
with vcrv diluted tine clay. It is rarely distributed and it is difficult 10
distinguish the wash from self-slip. In most cases the wash covers
only some parts of the vessels - necks of the pots. upper part s of
some types of pithoi (E.II.2.2. E.IY. 1.2. J.III. 1.I). The wash can be
evenly burnished or in strips. as well as homogeneously smoothed.
Unshpped surface
It is not small the amount of the pottery without additional slip, self-

slip or wash. Those are the vessels of different categories of semi-
coarse, and coarse clay. The outer surface of those vessels is often
consciously made roug hed through dragging or barbotine. unevenly
smooth or through smoothing. As a rule. the inner wa lls have traces
of evenly smoothing. It should be stressed the absence of unslipped
vessels from the category of the cups.
The following definitions have been used for descr iptions of the
manners of treatment of the surface: Unsmcothed surface; irregularly
smoothed surface ; even ly smoothed sur face; burni shed in strips
surface; even ly burnished (without shine) surface; shine burn ished
surface; roughed surface.
Unsmoothcd surface
The walls have no traces of additional treatment. In most cases the
outer surface of the vessel is smoothed only. As the irregular smooth-
ing. unsmoothed surface can be related to the unshpped pottery made
of semi-coarse and coarse clay. The vessels wit h unsmoothed sur-
face are not distributed in most categories of vessels. Several ma n-
ners we re distingui shed.
I r r t ' ~ u l a r l ~ ' smoo thed sur face
That mann er is relatively rarely distributed . There are clear traces of
careless smoothing over the outer and inner surface of the vessels.
The suing of instrument is often doc umented. mos t probabl y putty
knife of wood or bone. hard ' broom' etc. The irregular smoothing is
always connected with unslippcd surface and is not documented by
the categories of bowls and amph orae -like vessels.
Eve nly smoo thed surface
Along wit h the evenly burnishing it is the widest mann er of surface
treatment. It is registered by all categorie s of vessels. but weakest by
the bowls where the burnished surface dominat es. There is no clear
connection wi th the over-layering of the vessel wall s. The evenly
smoothed surface characterizes the slip. as wel l as unslipped pot tery.
The re are very often vessels and fragment s with evenl y smoothed
inner surfa ce in combinat ion wit h burni shed outer surface. The last
is especi ally characteristic of c ups. pots. amphorae-like vessels and
some types of bowls.
Burnished in str ips surface
The burnishing is irregular. There arc distinct groups of strips. which
mark the direct ion and manner of burnishing. In almost all cases
registered the strips are horizontal. Most probabl y a bone or stone
smoother was used for the sur face treatment. A cons iderable part of
the vessels before the burnishing we re slipped. as fine slip and self-
slip was most distributed. rarer semi-fine slip. There arc no instances
registered of combination of compact slip with strips burn ished.

The surfa ce is evenly burnished. luster less. In most cases the bur-
nished in this man ne r vessels have ti ne. semi-li ne or compact slip.
rarel y ther e is self-slip or was h. There is no interrela tion between
the color of the vessel and the existence of burni shing. as by the rest
ways of sur face treatment. The evenly burn ishing is especially char-
acteristic of the vessels of the categories of shallow bow Is where it
is distr ibuted among all basic forms. It should be stressed in the
cat egories of pots. a mphorae-like vessels. pithoi and some types of
bowl s the burnishing is doc umented over the outer sur face onl y.
Shi ne bu rnish ed surface
Thc surface is evenly burnished. polished and has strong shine. The
vessel surfaces with shine burnished arc cove red with compact slip.
In 0 11 of the cases there is bright red coloring (D.VI). The other ves-
sels have evenly compact black color. as the burnishing is registered
oyer the outer surface only.
Rou ghed surface
The vessels and the fragments with consciousl y roughed surface are
numerous. The widest tech nique distributed is barbotine. in rare cases
there are chaotic dragging. Th at manner. along with the last two
