The study deals with a small group of ceramic fragments from the huge pottery collection of the Austrian scholar Fritz Schachermeyr. Having been picked up during visits to the various find places or acquired by donations, these fragments have joined the major collection whose aim was to present the representative pottery types from the prehistoric cultures of the Mediterranean and Middle East. For this reason, the pottery fragments in question provide characteristic evidence of early cultural groups in the Levant and Near East. The main objects of the study include the presentation of the fragments in drawings and photographs, their incorporation into a systematic catalogue, the analysis of their chronological position and their relationship to their different cultural contexts. The find places of the pottery fragments are studied in terms of their cultural strata and the steps along the particular development of ceramics. In conclusion, the different fragments of the collection are classified according to their chronological and cultural position.
