Debated. The bowls are real, but why people left the town is only a guess.
The town is Shakhi Kora, near Kalar in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. People were there in the middle of the fourth millennium BC, and they left around 3000 BC. Diggers found stacks of clay bowls with slanted rims, made for serving food. Animal bones nearby make it likely the bowls held meat stew. The bowls sat by places for cooking and by a pillared hall big enough to feed many workers. Drains ran under the floor. There is no sign they were driven out by an attack or by trouble in the land.
People still cannot prove why the town was left, and a return to farm life is only an idea.
