The Tracing the Potter’s Wheel Project (TPW)
This backstory article discusses the work of the Tracing the Potter’s Wheel Project (TPW), an integrated archaeological research project using the potter’s wheel as a prism through which to investigate the transmission of craft knowledge in the Bronze Age Aegean. The TPW methodology integrates theoretical perspectives on social interactions, technological processes and innovation, with experimental, 3D digital and analytical methods for visualisi…
Generalised Typesets in Experimental Ceramics
Investigations tackling the production techniques used by ancient potters often rely upon experimental archaeology to clarify the relationship between surface morphology, surface topography, and the techniques, methods, and gestures used in the potting process. These experimental archaeology programmes focus on creating collections of experimental vessels to compare against archaeologicallyrecovered vessels, thus allowing production techniques to…
Experimental approaches to archaeological ceramics
A Re-Examination of Early Wheel Potting in Crete
The manner in which Minoan potters first employed the pottery wheel has become a matter of some debate. A growing body of work has taken a sceptical approach to the transition from hand-building to wheel-throwing techniques in a number of contexts, finding that the idea of a technological transition of this nature is not supported by the ceramic evidence. Although a small number of publications have addressed this topic as it relates to Minoan Cr…
Ceramic Production at Initial Middle Missouri Plains Villages
Interpretations of ceramic evidence from the Initial Middle Missouri (IMM) complex of the Northern Plains have suggested a technologically simple and homogenous ceramic production industry. Previously unused techniques for identifying and evaluating macroscopic ceramic production evidence allow for new interpretations of ceramic materials. Our study employs a chaîne opératoire approach to ceramics from three IMM sites in South Dakota: Mitchell (3…
Hair and potters
This paper explores the ways in which horse hair alters the properties of clay and resulting vessels when used as a temper. This is based upon archaeological evidence found in Kazakhstan, though the experiments conducted were of a general nature. Experimentation involved comparing tempered to untempered vessels by recording dimensional changes, porosity and permeability, and resistance to tensile and shearing strain. A discussion of the benefits …
