From clay to kiln. Medieval pottery production in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, Eastern Moravia and Lower Austria
Original language description
The publication offers a comprehensive insight into the technology of high medieval pottery production in Central Europe (1250–1400), based on a multidisciplinary analysis of kiln loads from archaeologically investigated pottery kilns in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, eastern Moravia, and Lower Austria, complemented by the results of 12 seasons of experimental archaeology covering all stages of the production chain. Analyses of ceramic fabrics confirm their predominantly local origin while also revealing a preference for specific material properties. Within the forming process, four transitional phases in the involvement of rotational kinetic energy during coil-based vessel production were identified and experimentally verified. The results of experimental firings helped reconstruct both the operational use of the studied kilns and the production of ceramics corresponding to medieval wares. The book provides new insights into the topography of workshops in different settlement environments and into the social status of potters within the broader European context.
