Maybe fuelled by recent claims that #Neolithic hunters were too "simple" and thus not capable of cultural achievements, there seems to be a misunderstanding about the "#pottery" part in #PrePotteryNeolithic (PPN).
They actually *did* use vessels. Just other vessels.

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 (including Göbekli Tepe by the way).
Bringing up the #GöbekliTepe fragments since they illustrate why finding complete vessels is comparably rare: the material was too valuable to not re-use it.

Bergtour zu meiner Patentochter Stefi, die auf der Martin Busch Hütte (2.500 m) in Vent, Tirol das Service schupft. Weitere Eindrücke folgen.
Martin Busch Hütte (vormals Samoahütte) auf 2.501 m und Similaunhütte (3.019 m), da wird die Luft schon dünner. Unvergleichbarer Ötztaler Dialekt, seit 2010 immaterielles UNESCO Kulturerbe.
Alte und neue Schäferhütte. Schäfer = 23 Jahre jung und Hüter über 1.700 Schafe. Seine 2 Hütehunde befolgen Befehle, einer in deutscher, einer in englischer Sprache. So kann er gezielt mit ihnen arbeiten, ohne dass beide in die gleiche Richtung rennen.
