Abstract
In the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age pottery making was among the most important branches of domestic production. In the Lublin region there were numerous deposits of clay from which this raw material was extracted and then underwent special processing. Various techniques were developed in the course of making pottery vessels and creating other clay items. Pottery production was done by members of respective families, and high importance in this regard is attributed to women. Traditional technological processes were replicated and there were local peculiarities when it comes to the forms and ornamentation of the products. It is likely that for both the potter and the users of his/her products the implementation of magical actions when working with clay was important.
