Dans le cadre d'études de provenance des matériaux céramiques, il est courant de comparer la composition élémentaire de matières premières argileuses avec celle d'artefacts archéologiques. Les problèmes d'altération demeurent cependant peu pris en …
[In French] Firing temperatures and atmospheres appear to be ambiguous indicators when it comes to describing the firing stage of ceramic materials. Despite methodological and conceptual issues raised by previous studies, they are still ubiquitous in the scientific litterature. This study questions their relevance in the description of technical processes.
Ceramic firing, by giving artefacts both their mechanical properties and part of the final aesthetic features, appears to be a critical stage in pottery production. Several stages of production can be restored from finished products or structures …
The European Meeting on Ancient Ceramics (EMAC) is a biennial conference convening scholars and young researchers, both from humanities and sciences.
The 14th EMAC is organized by the Research Institute on Archaeomaterials (IRAMAT-CRP2A), a joint …
From the 1st to the 3rd centuries A.D., the territory of Istria (present-day Croatia) was a prominent area of olive oil production. Archaeologists have identified the so-called Dressel 6B amphora as the main container used in the transport and trade …
L'objet de la présente étude relève d'une approche technologique du domaine ibérique à la fin de l'Âge du Fer. L'orientation donnée à notre étude est celle d'un intérêt porté à l'origine d'une innovation : les pratiques de cuisson de la céramique …
This data set contains 38 particle-size distributions (PSD) of unfired potsherds from the Iberian workshop of the Mas de Moreno (Teruel, Spain). The distributions were obtained by laser diffraction.
