The most important problem is the technique of manufacture of the BR ware. So far it was presumed that the peculiar colour was the result of firing the pots in an inverted position in the kiln. By this process the portion of the pot, which was oxidised, turned red whereas the remaining part being fired under reducing conditions, turned black. This was the contention of Flinders Petrie and also of Gordon Childe (1937, pp. 43-44).
