Potter's wheel and organization of pottery production in Late Iron Age Central Europe: a case study from Eastern Bohemia
Original language description
The potter's wheel is one of the principal technological innovations of the La Tene period. Its introduction is assumed to be a consequence of the development of craft specialization. This article is focused on the variability of pottery-forming techniques during the period as a consequence of the development of modes of pottery production. The interpretations are based on technological analysis of the La Téne pottery from the Chrudim region (Eastern Bohemia). The analysis has revealed substantial changes in the use of the potter's wheel. The process of production of the first pottery formed using rotational movement was a time-consuming activity. During this time, the use of the potter's wheel reached the level of a cost-effective technique that required a high level of motor skills only attainable by in-tensive production. The results of the analysis correspond to the idea that the introduction of the potter's wheel was channelled by the mechanisms of prestige technology economy. Dur
