Rock cut basins from Azerbaijan

On previous posts, I have called the attention to the rock cut basins found on two Neolithic settlements, both of them around Évora: Alto de S. Bento

This kind of features is probably much more common than generally accepted, though they are virtually invisible in the literature about prehistoric settlements or rock art in Central Alentejo.
I have showed some similarities with Galician rock art panels, as well as some counterparts in the British Isles.

Now, I will try to open the parallels to other areas, and with some more interesting examples.
