The number of automobiles has seen an alarming rise in the recent years. The main reason for this rise is the advent of mass production technologies for automobiles , making cars relatively cheap and affordable to everyone. In the year 2014, the number of road vehicles produced annually increased to 87.23 million vehicles from around 40 million in 2000. Th is shows that production has increased to more than twice the volume in only 14 years. Hence the auto industry is always on -the-rise. During the assembly of automobiles, be it everyday passenger cars or large commercial vehicles, tyres have to be assembled o n the car chassis at some point of t ime in the assembly. An average tyre+rim set for a commercial car weights around 10-12kg, and for heavy commercial vehicles it can go up to 25-45kg per tyre. Also the number of cars produced every day is very large. Almost always when the tyre has to be assembled, the vehicle is jacked i.e. it is raised to a height. Hence the tyre has to b...

Pottery manufacturing in Early Bronze Age (EBA) Anatolia witnessed a host of technical innovations that transformed what had been a small-scale domestic activity into a specialist craft. At the proto-urban village of Seyitömer Höyük, dedicated pottery workshops appeared in the EBIII period (ca. 2250-2200 BCE), along with a suite of technical innovations, such as pottery molds, clay mixing pits, and clusters of pottery kilns. These advances allowed potters to manufacture more vessels with less effort, and represent a fundamental shift in the chaine operatoire, which is indicative of broader social and economic changes in the EBA. This poster presents the archaeological evidence for various stages of standardized pottery production, in comic book style. Sequential illustrations tell the story of an apprentice potter learning her craft under the tutelage of a seasoned corporate group of specialists. These fictional characters perform activities that are empirically attested at Seyitömer Höyük, and offer an approachable way for general audiences to engage with real archaeological data.
