Sažetak
Potter’s tools are objects that in antiquity where essential for shaping, levigating and decorating pottery, and whose identification can often be problematic. Nevertheless, in recent years numerous examples from both the eastern Mediterranean (e. g. Sagalassos, Panskoye) and the west (e. g. Corfu’, Scoppieto) have been anlyzed showing a pattern of similarity that characterizes this objects. In fact, most often they are reused objects (combs, hairpins, pottery fragments) but some of them are clearly products of the workshops themselves or are objects used in an “alternative” way. They provide us not only with information on the technology of shaping ceramic objects but also on the choices and know-how of the potters using and producing them. A selection of potter’s tools has been isoleted from the worskshop waste excavated at the site Igralište in Crikvenica (Croatia) showing both reuse and purposeful production. As the only Roman pottery production center so far identified within the province Dalmatia, Crikvenica’s pottery workshop serves as an unique example of craft migration and mobility, adaptability and implementation of technology, as a substantial gap with previous local pottery production is noticable. Moreover, the wast array of the figlina products, spanning from amphorae to household pottery and ceramic building materials, open numerous questions on technological, but also practical choices within the production processes. On this occasion an assemblage of tools and kiln implements will be presented suggesting their function and usage on the basis of comparative ancient and ethnoarchaeological examples, and discussing their technological aspects, while placing them in the broader picture of ceramics and pottery production of the Roman world.
