Bringing up these #GöbekliTepe fragments in particular here since they illustrate why finding complete vessels is comparably rare: the material was too valuable to not re-use it.

Well known and clearly associated with #PrePotteryNeolithic contexts are e.g. #StoneVessels from different places like #KörtikTepe in Turkey or #JerfElAhmar and #TellAbr in Syria as well as (often fragmented though) many more related sites (Göbekli Tepe for instance being one of those).
