Abstract
The aim of this doctoral paper is to interpret the production technology of the Neolithic
ceramics in Istria. The first part of the study is based on the technological-macroscopic
analysis of the Neolithic ceramics of some sites and the second part of the study is based
on the processing of ethnographic data on the production of the Istrian ceramics and the
implementation of the experimental method of ceramics firing. The ethnographic data
are not used as a direct analogy in the study, though they point to possible models of
production, their use, which is essential for understanding the technology of the
Neolithic pottery production. The examples at the ethnographic level were partially used
in archaeological experiments for the selection and use of natural sediments. The
microscopic analysis results of samples of the experimentally fired ceramics were
compared to the macroscopic analyses results of samples of the original Neolithic
ceramics. The data thus obtained were compared with published results of
microscopically processed soil samples and some fragments of Neolithic ceramics in
Istria and Dalmatia to obtain the best possible image of the Neolithic production
technology of ceramic pottery. This type of research enables the archaeologistresearcher to comprehend the technological process of pottery creation and production
through different prehistoric periods as well as some later historical periods. In addition,
the study allows us to obtain results which enable a partial identification and connection
of many factors in the research field and the reconstruction of the social and religious
structure of prehistoric communities and their relation to the craftsman class – in this
case to potters in Istria.
