In the Late Neolithic, the area of today’s northeast Poland was a frontier of two different socioeconomic and belief systems, one represented by societies based on a food-producer economy, the other by hunter-gatherer groups. They were involved in processes which led to the emergence of many local syncretic societies, the majority of which complied with the conventions of the para-Neolithic communities. This foundation, already complex in the Late Neolithic, was further differentiated as a consequence of the influence of the Bell Beaker and Iwno cultures. As a result, the multivector processes that transpired between various societies at the time led to the formation of a new phenomenon in north-eastern Poland. It was characteristic for the Early Bronze Age and was called the Trzciniec culture, which was part of a much broader cultural convention known as the Trzciniec cultural circle. Due to the nature of the discoveries from this area, the phenomenon is best reflected in pottery, examples of which can be perceived not only in terms of utilitarian products but mainly as markers of contacts and evidence for diffusion.

Glazed pottery from the cemetery and settlement in Strzemieszyce Wielkie and the settlement in Dąbrowa Górnicza-Łosień is the subject of the analyses presented in this article. They were subjected to a technological analysis, including microscopic examination and chemical composition analyses of the glaze and ceramic bodies. The results have confirmed local production of the vessels and have shown that they were made in different workshops instead of in a single production center. Glazed ceramics from western Małopolska (Little Poland) were formed of ferruginous clays and coated with lead glazes after drying. Pottery of this kind started to be produced most probably in the middle of the 11th century, permitting this group of products to be classified as one of the earliest of its kind in Europe. The emergence and development of this branch of the ceramic craft was influenced by a convenient location on the trade routes connecting Rus with Western Europe and the nearness of lead ore deposits essential for glaze production.

In this article the pottery obtained from three wells from the settlement in Kwiatków was analyzed. Compared to other sites associated with the Przeworsk culture, this site deserves a special attention due to the presence of over a hundred of artificial water intakes within excavated area. The method of the vessels production, macro and micromorphology characteristics, the degree of their preservation and the level of deposition inside the features were examined in detail. Most of the pottery fragments should be associated with the Przeworsk culture from the Roman Iron Age, however there was also a small percentage of pottery with Jastorf culture elements. The information obtained allowed to define the context of their discovery and to explain its presence inside the well.

One of the trenches opened by the team of the PCMA during 2015–1026 at the site of Beit Ras (ancient Capitolias) in the governorate of Irbid, northern Jordan, revealed remains of the defensive city wall. Neither the foundation nor the earliest walking level connected with the wall could have been reached; however, the archaeological exploration allowed to identify three upper floors, all of them posterior to the construction of the city wall. The analysis of the ceramics from under the floors allowed to study the repertory of the local, regional and some imported wares in the Roman-period Capitolias and, at the same time, provided an insight to the chronology of the defenses of ancient Capitolias.

The turn of the 4th and 3rd century B.C. is the time of great political and economical change in Cyprus. The extensive analysis of various literary and historical sources supplemented by the ceramic data allows us to present the economic system of Cyprus as characterized by the following features at the turn of the Classical and Hellenistic periods: (1) the primary role of port cities; (2) a significant role of cabotage trade; (3) the division of the island into the "rich" coast, which participated in the Mediterranean "life" and the “poor” interior reduced to the role of the raw material base; (4) the existence of two parallel economic cycles: closed, internal cycle associated with what we might call "household economy", and the open cycle, connected with regular urban markets; (5) the limited movement of resources between port cites and inland settlements; (6) the basic role of Cypriot sanctuaries, which functioned as local centres of economic life (e.g. "industrial" production); (7) the autarkic nature of these Cypriot kingdoms which had direct access to the sea; (10) the “life” of the economic system of Cyprus was defined by the half-year cycle. Furthermore, in terms of transformation of the system, we might conclude that: (1) at the turn of the 4th and 3rd century B.C. there is no visible significant break in the development of the economic structure of Cyprus. It appears that the economic transformation was not a drastic process; (2) the changes that occurred in the economic structure of Cyprus influenced mostly the large coastal cities that were the local centres of the system; (3) in the sphere of internal relations, the final division of Cyprus into the western isolated part and economically well-developed eastern part vanished. From the methodological point of view the collected observations allowed to conclude that every economic system can be studied in view of its structure – the relationship between and the configuration of its items. One can also focus attention on the (self)development of the system, or on the phenomenon of coordination (in time and space) of behaviour of individual/groups of variables. Nevertheless, in this research, particular emphasis was placed on the process of development of the system and the problem of its discontinuation in relation to the evolution of variables relevant for its structure. The author focused on the processes of transformation and dynamic nature immanent to all systems. This is due to the author’s general conviction about the artificiality of divisions in the post-Droysen world, which marks sharp boundaries between "Classical" and "Hellenistic" periods.

Protoneolithic Culture refers as a concept to the hunting-gathering communities of Western Europe living in the terminal Atlantic period, that is, about 4500-3000 BC, which had already absorbed some of the civilizational advances of the agriculturalists. Characteristic thick-walled containers with conical pointed bottoms adapted to forest use were typical of this culture. In the past fifty years Protoneolithic culture has been recognized to a different extent in the territories of France, Holland, northern Germany, Denmark, southwestern Sweden and Poland (western Pomerania). Tanowo near Szczecin is one of the most important sites of this culture in the southwestern Baltic region. Excavations were conducted there by the author in 1989-2002. The site has produced an extensive assemblage of flint, stone and ceramic finds of a unique nature in Polish territory, as well as an abundance of animal bones. Taken in conjunction, the finds paint a fairly complete cultural and socio-economic picture of the local Protoneolithic. The present article is the first publication to present in outline a comprehensive view of this assemblage.

The article presents results of archaeological excavation conducted in Kraków-Górka Narodowa, site 6. During an archaeological watching brief, among other discovered features, the Roman Period pottery kiln was found. The site is a rare example of the workshop consisting of two kilns connected by one stoker’s pit. Only one of the kilns was excavated as the other one was located outside of the construction area. The analysis of the construction of the kiln, that was preserved in bad condition, allowed to link this workshop with the other known production sites form the Kraków area, located on the Vistula fluvial terrace. The fill of the kiln and the stoker’s pit consisted of 98 pieces of pots, in vast majority made on wheel. Analysis of both the kiln and the ceramics allowed to set broad chronological framework.

PL

Podczas nadzoru archeologicznego na stanowisku Kraków-Górka Narodowa 6, znaleziono szereg obiektów archeologicznych. Część z nich, na podstawie analizy materiału pozyskanego z ich wypełnisk, udało się wydatować na okres neolitu oraz okres rzymski. Niewątpliwie, najbardziej interesującym obiektem odkrytym na stanowisku jest piec do wypału ceramiki z okresu rzymskiego. Zarówno lokalizacja stanowiska na krawędzi terasy lewego brzegu Wisły jak i konstrukcja pieca dobrze korespondują z innymi tego typu znaleziskami z okolic Krakowa (Kraków-Nowa Huta-Pleszów, stan. 17–20, Kraków-Nowa Huta- -Mogiła, stan. 59, Kraków-Nowa Huta-Cło, stan. 1, 58, 58A, 65, Zofipole, stan. 1 oraz Igołomia, stan. 1). Obiekt zarysował się na głębokości ok. 80 cm. W wykopie związanym z prowadzoną inwestycją znalazł się piec oraz jama przypiecowa. Miąższość uchwyconej części obiektu wynosiła ok. 100 cm. Komora wypałowa posiadała średnicę ok. 148 cm. Ściany obiektu wydrążonego w podłożu lessowym były silnie przepalone. Dolna część, najprawdopodobniej stanowiąca komorę paleniskową, miała w przekroju kształt trapezowaty o szerokości ok. 175 cm. Jeśli przyjąć miejsce, w którym obiekt zaczyna się poszerzać za początek komory dolnej, to jej miąższość wynosiła ok. 65 cm. W obrębie przebadanego obiektu nie zachowały się fragmenty rusztu ani inne elementy konstrukcyjne. W najniższej części eksploracyjnej (głębokość ok. 80 cm) uchwycono pas przepalonego lessu, dzielący obiekt mniej więcej na pół, który wg autorów może stanowić destrukt przegrody pieca. Komora dolna obiektu połączona była z komorą przypiecową od strony północno-wschodniej. Nie zauważono jednak by kanał je łączący podzielony był przegrodą. Można to być związane ze złym stanem zachowania obiektu. Komora dolna drugiego, nie badanego pieca garncarskiego posiadała kanał wlotowy wydrążony w podłożu lessowym, przedzielony przegrodą, co wyraźnie widać na profilu stanowiącym granicę wykopu. Znajdował się on na północ od jamy przypiecowej. Opisywane kanały posiadały przekrój kolisty o średnicy 45 cm. Wypełnisko zarówno komory pieca garncarskiego jak i jamy przypiecowej miało charakter zasypiskowy, a w jego nawarstwieniach odnaleziono klejące się między sobą fragmenty naczyń ceramicznych. Charakter nawarstwień pozwala sądzić, iż powstały one w tym samym czasie podczas akcji niwelacyjnej terenu, kiedy obiekt być może został wtórnie wykorzystany jako jama odpadkowa. Konstrukcja pieca znalezionego na stanowisku 6 w Krakowie-Górce Narodowej nie jest prosta do rekonstrukcji. Stan zachowania elementów konstrukcyjnych pozwala na ogólnikową próbę opisu pierwotnego kształtu założenia. Jak już wspomniano, obiekt składał się z zespołu dwóch pieców połączonych jedną jamą przypiecową. Tego typu pary pieców występują stosunkowo rzadko (Dobrzańska 1990b, 23), znajdują jednak bliskie analogie na terenach podkrakowskich w Igołomi i Zofipolu. Charakterystyczny dla Igołomi jest fakt współwystępowania w zespole mniejszego i większego pieca. Większy posiadał dłuższą przegrodę komory dolnej, sięgającą komory przypiecowej podczas gdy obiekt mniejszy posiadał przegrodę krótszą, nie ciągnącą się przez całą długość kanału wlotowego (Dobrzańska 1990b, 23). Z oczywistych względów nie można mieć pewności, który z pieców z Górki Narodowej posiadał większe rozmiary, jednakże jeśliby przyjąć, że i w tej kwestii mamy do czynienia ze ścisłą analogią należałoby przyjąć, iż przebadana konstrukcja jest mniejszą z pary, ponieważ przegroda niebadanego pieca prawdopodobnie sięgała jamy przypiecowej. Hipoteza ta wydaje się prawdopodobna, zwłaszcza że rekonstruowana średnica rusztu badanego obiektu wynosi około 130–135 cm, co odpowiada średnicom rusztów pieców 3/52 i 7/54, a więc mniejszych z odkrytych w Igołomi zespołów (Dobrzańska 1990a, 151, 163). Należy zwrócić uwagę, iż odnalezione w Igołomi zespoły należy datować na fazę C1b (Dobrzańska 1990b, 80, rys. 18), natomiast zespoły z Zofipola datowane są także na fazę C3 (Dobrzańska 2011, 268) okresu wpływów rzymskich, tak więc sama forma łączenia pieców w pary nie jest wyznacznikiem chronologicznym. W wypełnisku omawianego pieca i jamy przypiecowej zachowało się łącznie 98 fragmentów ceramiki (92 fragmentów pochodzi z wypełniska pieca, 6 z jamy przypiecowej). Prawie wszystkie, za wyjątkiem dwóch, pochodzą z naczyń wykonanych przy użyciu koła garncarskiego. Materiał ceramiczny pochodzący z różnych poziomów i części wypełniska pieca garncarskiego i jamy przypiecowej wykleja się między sobą. Z wypełniska pieca i jamy przypiecowej pochodzą fragmenty naczyń różnych odcieni barwy beżowej, żółtej i brązowej (69 fragmentów), rzadziej barwy szarej i czarnej (27 fragmentów). Fakt ten może sugerować, że materiał ceramiczny pochodzi w większości z nieudanych wypałów przebiegających w atmosferze utleniającej. O występowaniu w omawianym zbiorze fragmentów pochodzących z nieudanych wypałów, świadczy także obecność skorup o niewystarczającej twardości. Nadmienić należy, że wszystkie tego typu fragmenty pochodziły z naczyń o wyświeconych, czarnych powierzchniach. Wskazanie momentu chronologicznego, w którym funkcjonował opisywany piec garncarski przedstawia szereg trudności. Niewątpliwie największym z nich jest fakt jego zasypania materiałem, który de facto nie datuje momentu końca jego użytkowania, a jedynie czas jego zasypania. Fragmenty naczyń odnalezionych w obrębie wypełniska można datować między fazami C1b–D okresu wpływów rzymskich i wczesnej fazy wędrówek ludów. Fakt ten najlepiej odzwierciedla obecność fragmentów waz nawiązujących do typu 13 wg H. Dobrzańskiej (1990b, tabl. 19). Naczynia te występowały między wymienionymi fazami chronologicznymi, co potwierdzają także odkrycia z Krakowa-Nowej Huty-Cła i Krakowa-Nowej Huty-Mogiły (Glanc-Kwaśny 1997, 47–48; Glanc-Kwaśny, Rodak 2000, 99–100). Datowanie użytkowania opisywanego obiektu między fazami C1b–D potwierdza także obecność garnków zbliżonych formą do typów 41 lub 42, datowanych między fazą C1b i C2 w systematyce H. Dobrzańskiej (1990b, tabl. 19). Podsumowując powyższe, należy stwierdzić, iż nie udało się określić precyzyjnej chronologii odkrytych materiałów. Wydaje się jednak, iż wśród publikowanego zbioru znajdują się elementy odbiegające od typowych dla środowiska kultury przeworskiej w mikroregionie podkrakowskim. Fakt ten może być efektem zasypania opisywanego pieca fragmentami ceramicznymi pochodzącymi z nieudanych wypałów. Sam piec silnie nawiązuje do konstrukcji odkrytych na terenach podkrakowskich, przede wszystkim w Igołomii i Zofipolu. Dalsze informacje mogłyby przynieść badania drugiego pieca, znajdującego się poza terenem inwestycji.

Recent studies helped to refine the provenance (recorded as Zatom, former distr. Międzychód) of vessels in keeping of the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw as Nowy Zatom, comm. and distr. Międzychód, woj. wielkopolskie. The specimens had been unearthed in 1931 near the “Lubitz farm” during construction work. A site sketch made on this occasion also shows the location of some hundred or so Lusatian culture graves discovered earlier in the same area. Unfortunately the review of archival records and literature has failed to identify any reference to such a cemetery at Nowy Zatom. The vessels passed to the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw thanks to an intervention of Zygmunt Zakrzewski, Inspector of Prehistoric Monuments for the Wielkopolska Province

The inflow of oriental silver to the lands of Western Slavdom, through the centers of Eastern Europe via the Baltic Sea, was the main determinant of material contacts between the communities of the two regions of the continent. However, they show only one direction – namely, from east to west. The results of the latest research show their second aspect, this time relations from west to east. To the centers located in the north-western zone of Eastern Europe arrived ceramic vessels specific to pottery of the North-Western Slavic territory or people who made them there on the spot. In addition, Tornow type vessels have been registered in Gorodok on the Lovat river. The chronological framework of the occurrence of these artefacts corresponds to the times when the strongholds in the Tornow-Klenica zone were liquidated. Staraya Ladoga and Wolin played a leading role in these relations. Both strongholds served as nodal points, where the forms of trans-Baltic shipping were combined with the inland navigation routes leading deep into both areas. The material culture of the communities of these settlements is also characterized by a number of similarities. Large buildings of post-and-plank construction were discovered there, erected at the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. The presence of large houses that stand out in the landscape of both centers is also perceptible in the second half of the 10th century. The material culture registered inside and in the vicinity of these wooden structures indicates that they could have been the seats of people involved in long-distance trade who can be regarded as “trade diasporas”. Their attributes included wooden anthropomorphic idols, balances and weights, and artifacts of Oriental origin. This article is an attempt to initiate a new Polish-Russian discussion on the cultural ties between the communities of Polish lands and Rus’ in the early Middle Ages.

In contrast to other contemporaneous cultural groups, the Otomani Füzesabony cultural complex (OFCC) is conspicuous, inter alia, due to covering a relatively wide geographical area. Within it can be observed a high variability of source bases, which is conditioned by the differing emergence and adaptation backgrounds, as well as by a varying length of duration across different geographical regions. To make things worse, this diversity of archaeological sources is reflected also in the different use of terminology and in various absolute and relative chronological systems. When dealing with the chronological issues of the OFCC in the territory of Eastern Slovakia the fortified settlement in Spišský Štvrtok, deserves special consideration. Despite the absence of any absolute dates from the site, significantly represented material culture allows one to review its relative chronological framework. In this respect, the morpho typology of selected pottery and metal artefacts, together with their decorative motifs, provide useful information about its relative chronology. A formalised description of jugs, which represent the chronologically most sensitive group of pottery, allows for a partial use of statistical methods as well. As a result, we can obtain a relatively comprehensive view of the initial phase, the length of occupation, and the abandonment period of the fortified settlement. In combination with 14C dates this information might in future contribute to a more exact understanding of the chronological relations within a wider area of East Central Europe.

This paper focuses on pottery acquisition strategies at the Mycenaean palace at Pylos, analysing mostly the final period of its existence. By the 13th century BC the palace at Pylos, after 300 years of development, was a complex, bureaucratic, administrative, and industrialized institution. The strategy of the pottery acquisi‑ tion by the palace is demonstrated to be a network of co‑dependence between the palace, the ‘royal’ potter and other contracted manufacturers. They were specialized craftsmen who cooperated with the palace under different conditions. The pottery industry was affected by a hierarchy of producers directed by the palace, as the ‘royal’ potter supported the king in fulfilling his duties and enjoyed special privileges. Underlying the model is the use of the theory of entanglement. Outlining the wide web of dependences between things and humans involved in the Pylian pottery industry reflects the internal complexity and gradual evolution of the system.

The Panoan and Tacanan languages belong to relatively small linguistic families of the Western Amazon. This paper aimed to examine briefly the terms and meanings related to pottery and ceramic vessels comprised within the lexicon of these languages against the ethno-archaeological context. The results of studies presented in this article indicate an existence of common words referring to the shape of vessels and suggest the transfer of meanings from natural or organic containers to certain ceramic vessel types. Moreover, similar terms used for traditional ornamentation have been observed, although their relation to archaeological findings which requires further research.

The joint Polish-Egyptian archaeological mission (Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology in Cairo) working in Saqqara, west of the funerary complex of Netjerykhet discovered an Early Old Kingdom quarries system. The pottery presented in this article is the first such large assemblage dated to the Early Dynastic and early Old Kingdom periods (Third to Fourth Dynasty) found in the area investigated by the mission. Importantly, it provides valuable evidence of events which had occurred before the emergence of the Lower Necropolis in the late Old Kingdom.

The aim of this article is to point to part of a pyrotechnical feature without known analogies. It can be interpreted as a freestanding oven for baking and drying, located in urban environment. Exclusively pottery was used for dating of the feature, which is showing a wider range of use within the 11th–13th centuries. The pottery is represented mainly by pots and storage vessels with shapes and decoration typical for the territory of Nitra. One high conical-neck pot with a different shape and decoration layout is an exception.

Owing to close co-operation with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and thanks to the Bawiti museum officials all of the material of the Czech mission in El-Hayz, excavated during several previous field seasons (2003–2007), was well accessible to us and we were also provided a hospitable and appropriate working space in new magazines. All excavated material, more precisely pottery, ceramic lamps, and an assemblage of small finds and ostraca, was properly and safely kept in large wooden boxes, easily identified and thus ready to work with. All this helped the members of the Czech team to work efficiently and finish the planned activities in time.

This article attempts to determine the relative chronology of the Kietrz cemetery of the Lusatian culture proceeding from the stylistic development of forms and ornamentation of vessels coming from selected pottery inventories. The co-occurrence matrix of forms and ornaments, developed from the sources described above, was examined using correspondence analysis. Graphic representation of the results forms a quite distinct arc-shaped layout in the plot of two principal axes. Correspondence analysis was also conducted for the identified types of decoration. The results, transposed into a two-dimensional diagram, show a different, not arch-like distribution. Objects and variables form two separate clusters. Detailed analysis of the two diagrams allowed for many valuable conclusions: (1) phases of vessel form development are polythetic assemblages, which means that they are formed by specific combinations of attributes or their frequencies rather than by strictly defined sets of phase-unique attributes; (2) in the development of pottery forms, one can observe a continuous evolution between phases BrC2 and HaC, i. e. in the period spanning nearly 800 years (ca 1380–600 BC). This confirms earlier conclusions, based on planigraphy data, concerning the uninterrupted functioning of the cemetery; (3) development of pottery decoration followed a different pattern – a “revolutionary” change in HaA was followed by a continuous development until the end of early Hallstatt period, when a regression in pottery ornamentation probably took place; (4) there is some discrepancy between the present results and M.Gedl’s chronology with respect to the older phases of vessel form and decoration development (among other things, the present results suggest dating the appearance of bossed decoration as early as BrC2).

The paper presents a new perspective on pottery traditions in the Gulf during the Neolithic period, based on new data from the Ubaid-related site of Bahra 1 in Kuwait. The site yielded an assemblage containing several different pottery types, classified as Ubaid Ware and Coarse Red Ware. These pottery groups were varied in many aspects: morphological types, technology, and provenance. Their main characteristics and cultural context are discussed, as well as the cross--pottery connections. The significance of these ceramic vessels for the Gulf population and their socio-economic context are also considered in this paper, given the new evidence from Bahra 1

The aim of this paper is to compare two sets of ceramic finds from the two southernmost shafts uncovered in tomb AS 68d, namely Shaft 1, belonging to the main tomb owner named Nefer, and Shaft 2, which very likely belonged to his wife, Neferhathor. These shafts are interesting due to the fact that although both their burial chambers were robbed and thus the shafts must have been disturbed, a large number of typologically and metrically similar vessels and their fragments were uncovered in the fills. In both shafts, we were able to uncover a large amount of fragments belonging not only to certain ceramic classes (especially stands, platters and jars) but also to the same groups, such as the tall hour-glass stands or the low ring stands. Also, numerous examples from both shafts were able to be glued together to at least full profile, if not to full diameter.
