Pottery Cup from Ninevite V Incised Period — This pottery cup was wheel-made and unpainted. It has a pointed base. Excavated by Robin Hamilton and Reginald Thompson in 1930-1931 season. Ninevite 5 period, 2750-2500 BCE. From Nineveh, northern Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. (The British Museum, London).

The period's name, Ninevite 5, came after the 5th level in a deep excavation trench at Nineveh, Northern Mesopotamia, where it belonged to a distinctive culture. This was partly contemporary with the Early Dynastic Period in the south. Ceramic vessels were decorated with either painted or incised designs.
