Bevel-rim bowls

Bevel-rim bowls are a type of ancient pottery, often associated with the late Neolithic period in regions such as the Near East. Characterized by their distinctive shape, these bowls feature a slightly elevated rim that appears to be "beveled" or sloped. Archaeologists value them for their contributions to understanding early human cultures, as they provide insights into daily life, trade, and technology. Typically made from clay and sometimes decorated, bevel-rim bowls were used for various purposes, including serving food and storage, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the societies that created them.
