‘Some of the most attractive surviving products of the 4^th millennium BC[E] are the ceramics of the Gumelnitsa* and Sulcutsa groups in Bulgaria, and the related Cucuteni and Tripole groups of Rumania and the Ukraine. Their pottery shapes make use of elegantly opposed curves, especially carinated forms with a convex profile above and a concave one beneath. The elegance of shapes was complemented by painted ornament of geometric intricacy.
