Abstract
The reconstruction of the Early Iron Age ceramics firing from the Northern Black Sea region is a part of the project`s tasks of studying the ceramics of mobile and sedentary communities in the region (early nomads and the forest-steppe population). The ceramics firing process and the content of mineral phases were determined by DTA-TG methods. Data are given on five samples from the settlements of Glinjeni II-La Shanz and Subotiv, as well as the burials of Kasperovka, Pryshyb and Velykodolynske. In the paper mineralogical and phase composition of ceramic samples are revealed. It is established that the analyzed samples were burned at a temperature not exceeding 650 °C.
Highlights
The problem of the production of handmade pottery by nomads, first of all, the reconstruction of the ceramics firing mode is the task of studying the ceramics of mobile and sedentary communities of the Northern Black Sea region: early nomads and the population of the forest-steppe zone
Many vessels have direct analogies among the ceramics produced by the sedentary population that lived in the forest-steppe zone
We show only the first results of using the DTA-TG method to determine the firing mode of ceramics
Summary
The problem of the production of handmade pottery by nomads, first of all, the reconstruction of the ceramics firing mode is the task of studying the ceramics of mobile and sedentary communities of the Northern Black Sea region: early nomads and the population of the forest-steppe zone.In the steppe burials of the early nomads (10th— 8th/7th centuries BC) today found more than two hundred vessels of various purposes (for cooking, food storage, drinking and food), which are used in burials. The problem of the production of handmade pottery by nomads, first of all, the reconstruction of the ceramics firing mode is the task of studying the ceramics of mobile and sedentary communities of the Northern Black Sea region: early nomads and the population of the forest-steppe zone. Many vessels have direct analogies among the ceramics produced by the sedentary population that lived in the forest-steppe zone. There is no convincing evidence in the specialized literature whether a vessel could have been produced in a nomadic community or by sedentary population. The purpose of this work is to show the possibilities of using the methods of natural sciences in solving the problem of the firing ceramics reconstruction by the nomadic and sedentary population. The first results of studying a few ceramic samples from the materials of the settlements (Subotiv and Glinjeni II-La Shanz) and some vessels from the burials of the later Pre-Scythian period are presented
