Abstract
SUMMARYCeramic production has shaped the industrial and human landscapes of the Gavarres Mountains in northeastern Catalonia. This activity remains important in some places, where it transitions between traditional practices and industrial modes of production. Quart, a town known for its greyware pottery production, is an emblematic centre where artisanal expertise in this ancient manufacture has been upheld as an identity-building value despite increasing industrialization. Our research examines the transformation of production processes through landscape archaeology, material science, archival research, and literature review within a diachronic framework starting in the thirteenth century AD. Our aim is to provide an overview of the pottery production in northeastern Catalonia, using Quart as a case study, as a means to integrate the material culture and industrial development of this area into archaeological studies.
