Sažetak
Pottery production process can be identified on the basis of macroscopic and archaeometric analysis of their fragments or complete and partially complete vessels, and considering the results of these studies it enable us to discuss about their significance in the context of a society or culture. The pottery forming techniques are directly related to potters decisions on the selection of specific techniques that are often culturally conditioned and are directly related to the tradition. The paper will present the results of the pottery forming techniques analysis conducted on the vessel samples of cultural group Virovitica that is by relative chronology dated to the end of a Middle and the beginning of the Late Bronze Age. The study was conducted on samples from several archaeological sites of two micro-regions (Turopolje and Podravina) in the area of northwestern Croatian. The analysis included forming techniques, surface treatments and methods of decoration. The analysis revealed that variety of techniques were applied in forming and finishing treatment, but there are also indications of certain innovations and local specific selection during the final processing of the vessel. Such differences in technological choices were observed depending on micro-region of the same cultural characteristics.
