This is the complete guide for anyone interested in mouldmaking and
modelling. It is ideal for any purpose, whether for making repairs
to picture frames or designing a pottery tea set, making a
sculpture, creating shapes for printmaking, making a toy soldier,
or even making chocolate Easter egg moulds. Highly illustrated, the
book is filled with step-by-step instructions that guide the user
through the process of making first-rate moulds and models. A wide
variety of materials suitable for moulds are discussed including
plaster, latex, resin, silicone as well as the equipment needed.
There are also useful charts which show which types of moulds
should be used for different materials such as chocolate, wax,
plaster, lead and resin. All in all, this is an indispensable guide
to the processes of mouldmaking and modelling and it should be on
the reference shelves of all mouldmakers - amateurs and
professionals alike.
Addressing topics ranging from production and distribution to
iconography and museum collections, "Vessels and Variety" sheds new
light on perspectives in the fields of ancient pottery studies. The
contributors cover a wide span of time from the Geometric period to
the Roman period, exploring both new materials from recent
excavations in the Mediterranean--from southern Italy to the Black
Sea--as well as new methodological approaches. With richly
illustrated articles, this volume provides an important
contribution to the ongoing debates on the role of pottery in
ancient societies.
This work looks at ceramic contexts from Late Antiquity to Early
Middle Ages (350-700), in rural settlements of Salamanca (Spain).
It explores a whole series of ceramic contexts from six sites
excavated in recent years, in the territory of Northern Lusitania
(nowadays the province of Salamanca, Spain), covering the period
between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 8th.
The chronological frame of reference for the stratigraphy has been
established by information provided by coins and radiocarbon dates.
The pottery of this period in the central Iberian Peninsula has
remained little known, and this present study relating to its
classification and chronology represents a significant development,
providing initially a common terminology to designate the diverse
pottery productions, usually considered as local ware.
Discussions and scientific exchange are crucial for the advancement
of a young discipline such as the study of Roman pottery in the
Near East. Therefore, in addition to large conferences such as the
'Late Roman Coarse Ware Conference' (LRCW) where the Near East
plays only a marginal role, an international workshop with 20
participants dedicated solely to the study of Roman common ware
pottery in the Near East was held in Berlin on 18th and 19th
February 2010. The goal of this workshop was to provide researchers
actively engaged in the study of Roman common wares the possibility
to meet and discuss the current state of research as well as
questions and problems they are facing with their material. Some of
the participants were able to bring pottery samples, which provided
the possibility to compare and discuss the identification and
denomination of specific fabrics on a regional and supra-regional
scale. This volume presents 17 papers from this stimulating event.
The Archaeopress series, Roman and Late Antique Mediterranean
Pottery (RLAMP) is devoted to research of the Roman and late
Antique pottery in the Mediterranean. It is designed to serve as a
reference point for all potential authors devoted to pottery
studies on a pan-Mediterranean basis. The series seeks to gather
innovative individual or collective research on the many dimensions
of pottery studies ranging from pure typological and chronological
essays, to diachronic approaches to particular classes, the
complete publication of ceramic deposits, pottery deposit
sequences, archaeometry of ancient ceramics, methodological
proposals, studies of the economy based on pottery evidence or,
among others, ethnoarchaeological ceramic research that may help to
understand the production, distribution and consumption of pottery
in the Mediterranean basin.
