From bowls to pots: The dairying revolution in Northwest Turkey, a view from Barcın Höyük, 6600 to 6000 BCE. by Hadi Özbal, Adria Breu, Laurens Thissen, Fokke Gerritsen, Elisha van den Bos, Alfred Galik, Turhan Doğan, Muhiddin Çergel, Adnan Şimşek, Ayla Türkekul, Rana Özbal

“…The lipid residue data discussed in this paper derive from 143 isotopic results subsampled from 173 organic residues obtained from 805 Neolithic potsherds and suggest that bowls and four-lugged pots may have been preferred containers for processing milk. The discovery of abundant milk residues even among the earliest ceramics indicates that the pioneer farmers arrived in the region already with the knowhow of dairying and milk processing. …”
