Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 23
Abstract
The paper considers the materials and results of the first technical and technological study of a series of dishware items of the “Kama-Urals” origin from the fortified settlement of Juketaw. The authors established the traditions of selection, extraction, preparation of raw materials and moulding masses, determined the methods of designing the hollow body and filling, shaping techniques, roasting modes, surface treatment of the dishware, and analyzed the ornamental traditions of decoration. The obtained results characterize the samples of “Kama-Ural” dishware as generally corresponding to household production, manufactured with the use of relatively archaic technologies at the stage of initial perception of the certain features of handicraft production by the manufacturers.
