In the exploration of houses within the Late Bronze Age settlements, characteristic household inventory was discovered, directly connected to the everyday life and needs of the population. The presented objects bear witness to the large-scale production and the diverse repertoire, as well as to the different forms and dimensions of the vessels, depending on their purpose: for storing food, for cooking, eating, or drinking. Larger vessels, such as amphorae and large bowls, served as containers for storing liquids, while smaller ones were used for their consumption.

Tableware of smaller dimensions, in the form of jugs, cups, plates, or small amphorae, was used for serving and consuming food. The preparation of cereal products was carried out with a stone mill, and the food was cooked in a composite ceramic hearth.
