Several productions of Islamic tin glazed pottery from eastern Spain have been studied under the chemical and microstructural points of view by means of WDS, SEM/EDX, XRD and XRF analyses. Samples of Islamic pottery from the workshops of Murcia 10th, Zaragoza 11th, Mallorca 11th, Denia 13th, Granada 14th and Córdoba 10th, which represent a wide range of local productions from medieval eastern S...

In order to contribute the enhancement of local materials, Aklakou clays taken from quarry and used for pottery have been characterized a physicochemical mineralogical point view. Thus, samples were subjected chemical analyzes. Several qualitative quantitative analysis techniques (chemical analysis, thermal X-ray diffraction by I.R. spectroscopy). These results demonstrated richness this quartz...

This paper, drawing on research from the ‘HANDMADE - Understanding Creative Gesture in Pottery Making’ project (sponsored by ERC), will attempt to show how a focus temporality of touch and tactility making can help us disambiguate often discussed, but little understood, dialogue between maker material. Our main thesis is that with increasing levels skill, tactile perception plays an active role...

The invention of pottery introduced fundamental shifts in human subsistence practices and sociosymbolic behaviors. Here, we describe the dating of the early pottery from Xianrendong Cave, Jiangxi Province, China, and the micromorphology of the stratigraphic contexts of the pottery sherds and radiocarbon samples. The radiocarbon ages of the archaeological contexts of the earliest sherds are 20,0...

When we think of Greek vases we generally have in mind Greek pottery, which has survived in quantity. Clay, one of the most perishable of materials, becomes one of the most indestructible in the firing. In fact, much of our knowledge of ancient civilizations is derived from the potsherds that are found in successive layers on ancient sites; a pot, once fired, may break into a hundred pieces, bu...
