Ceramic technology is a topic widely explored in archaeology,
especially for its social inferences. This volume addresses the
social aspects of production and the role of potters within
prehistoric communities. The book focusses on the Copper Age when
social complexity was incipient rather than developed, and ceramic
production was not considered a formalised activity. Household and
funerary pottery dated from the second half of the 4th to the end
of the 3rd millennium BC unearthed from eight archaeological
contexts located in the current area of Rome were analysed through
a multidisciplinary study. An integrated approach of archaeometric
investigation, trace analysis and experimental archaeology provided
a framework of empirical data reflecting the transmission of
technological choices among diverse ceramic traditions and the
coexistence of different levels of expertise within productions
related to household or funerary activities. Petrographic analyses,
XRF and XRD, led to an understanding of the ceramic recipes, their
use and the firing technology used by Copper Age potters. The
reference collection of technological traces relating to forming
techniques, surface treatments and comb decorations allowed
characterization of the craftspeople's expertise. A potter's skill
is inferred in terms of the technical investment required at each
stage of production or in shaping specific ceramic vessels. In
light of these data, the pottery from the Copper Age contexts of
central Italy suggests a recurring association between skilled
productions and socially valued goods, as the vessels used in
funerary contexts demonstrate.
