Various Approaches of the Ceramic Documentation: Foreword

p. 93


Texte intégral

1This chapter presents various research highlighting the different topics frequently addressed through ceramic studies. Chrono-typology is probably the most frequently addressed topic as it represents the early stage of every study (see Section v.1). The other aspects of the ceramic studies, whether economic, cultural, or functional, are dependent on this first chronological appraisal.

2Once the evolution of the productions is understood, these results can be put into perspective to insert the pottery studied within a larger frame to highlight cultural exchanges (see Section v.2), to draw the outline of the organization of the production and internal economy (see Section v.3) or to analyse the functions and use of the ceramic through content analyses (see Sections v.4 and v.5).
