Wheel-made pottery of the Przeworsk culture in the light of digital radiography examinations. Preliminary study of vessels from the microregion to the east of the lower Raba River

Abstract

The article presents the results obtained by examining wheel-made pottery with the use of digital radiography. As exemplified by selected fragments, the possibilities offered by this method of studying the production techniques applied in Przeworsk culture ceramics are presented. Vessel sherds from the younger and late Roman period from workshops located in the microregion east of the lower Raba River (sites in Strzelce Małe and Bessów) were analysed. Analysis of X-radiography images offers some insight into the features of the primary forming techniques used and the structure of the clay fabric.
