Experimental pottery production

In the period between 2013 and 2016, a series of lectures and experiments was carried out within a programme called Through experimental archaeology to the technology of pottery production in prehistory. They were targeted towards the students of the Department of Archaeology in Zagreb, and devised by the Centre for Experimental Archaeology, Department of Archaeology in Zagreb at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb. The aim of the programme was to transfer the basic theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the methods of pottery production. The lectures and experiments comprised the whole procedure of pottery production – from the acquisition of raw material to the methods of firing. The poster presents some of the results of the experiments, with the emphasis on reduction firing process.
