Abstract

This research focuses on examining fired clay pottery, a robust material that offers invaluable historical insights. The study analyses ceramics according to their various attributes, including shape, surface type, color, drawing patterns, and decorative styles. The analysis yields valuable information concerning production and decoration stages. Furthermore, this study elucidates the techniques employed in ascertaining the fabrication period of fired clay products and the comparative analysis with other ceramics. Notably, the research confirms that the ornamentation of ceramics from dissimilar regions and eras varies distinctively, while varying types of clay or modes of production are frequently used. The significance of these details lies in their ability to date the region, map trade and communication networks, and determine the presence of multiple human groups. Pottery development research utilizes a range of scientific methods to trace the raw material sources of ceramic production and underscores their importance in reconfiguring the economics, production techniques, organization, and social aspects of ceramic production. Conclusively, this research highlights the significance of investigating prehistoric kiln-fired ceramics for comprehending the function of pottery in the origination of early human communities and for gaining a deeper appreciation of our shared cultural legacy.
