Analyse typologique et analyse biophysique de la matière décorative d'un récipient Bronze récent de La Baume des Anges à Donzère (Drôme)

The vessel presented here comes from a test excavation in which Late Bronze Age industries have been found. Detailed examination of this vessel was warranted by its exceptional shape and decoration, related to its presumed date. The technique used for the white decoration probably included burnt bone, ground to a fine powder. A paste could then have been obtained by mixing organic substances, used as plastifying and binding agents, to this powder. Finally, excised cavities were filled with this mixture. There is no sign of any further heat treatment aimed at fritting the particles
