This population lived a sedentary lifestyle, based on hunting, gathering, fishing and probably also on agriculture. They dug out pits, of which some might have had a ritual function.
Funerary structures were identified, dating to the Early Iron Age. The specific disposition of pots and their association with different iron objects seem to indicate the presence of elite graves. This hierarchical society might have spread beyond the Kribi-Campo region about 2000 years ago as similar burial sites were found in Equatorial Guinea.

Boulet, Stéphanie. "Les productions céramiques égyptiennes en région thébaine du 8e au 6e siècle avant notre ère: traditions, influences et innovations." Doctoral thesis, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2013/ULB-DIPOT:oai:dipot.ulb.ac.be:2013/209108.
En plus d’une définition précise de cette industrie par de l’établissement d’une analyse typologique fine, ce travail vise à associer les changements politiques de la ville de Thèbes avec les développements des productions céramiques locales.
Vers le milieu du 8e siècle avant notre ère, des évolutions techniques et morphologiques majeures se produisent dans l’industrie céramique thébaine, donnant naissance à un nouveau répertoire spécifique de cette région, se distinguant clairement des productions de la Basse-Egypte. Cette différenciation semble être le reflet des tensions politiques entre le nord et le sud du pays. Cette industrie va se développer au cours de la Basse Epoque avec des formes devenant plus sinueuses, complexes et carénées. Un nouveau traitement de surface se développe grâce au tour rapide :les stries plates, éléments caractéristiques des productions thébaines de la Basse Epoque.
Sous la dynastie nubienne, les produits vraisemblablement originaires de la région thébaine sont diffusés en Egypte et en Nubie. Cette diffusion a pour conséquence quelques phénomènes d’interactions en Egypte, mais surtout en Nubie où se développe un nouveau répertoire formel inspiré des productions céramiques thébaines, en parallèle aux productions locales.
Ce travail s’articule en trois parties. La première reprend une présentation des différents sites et contextes archéologiques exploités dans cette analyse. La deuxième correspond à une étude typologique des productions céramiques thébaines alors que la troisième partie se penche sur une synthèse reprenant une définition complète de la production thébaine.
Cette thèse a pour objectif d’utiliser l’objet céramique comme un élément datant et le témoin d’un savoir-faire, mais également comme un marqueur de changements politiques et économiques./
The study of the Theban ceramic production from the 25th to the 26th Dynasty (c. 750-525 BC) has been neglected for a long time because of a lack of stratified archaeological context. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the ceramic material coming from the chapel of Osiris Wennefer Ned-Djefau at Karnak (IFAO – Dir. L. Coulon) and from the temple of Ptah at Karnak (CFEETK – Dir. Chr. Thiers). The study of the pottery from the tombs TT 29 and TT C3 at Cheikh abd el-Gourna broadens our knowlegde on this production (ULB-ULg – MANT – Dir. L. Bavay et D. Laboury).
In addition to the formulation of a precise definition of this industry by the establishment of a new ceramic typology, this work aims to associate the political changes occurring in Thebes at that period with the evolution of the local ceramic production.
In the mid-8th century BC, technical and morphological changes are observed in the Theban ceramic industry, defining a specific industry in the region, a pottery repertoire which is easily distinctive from the ceramic production from the North of Egypt. This distinction is the reflection of political tensions between the North and the South at this time. The above-mentioned industry developed during the Late Period with more complex, marked and carinated shapes; a new surface treatment appeared thanks to the use of the kick-wheel: ribbed surface, which is a specific element of the Theban production in the Late Period.
Under the Nubian Dynasty, pottery from the Theban area is spread through Egypt and Nubia. This distribution caused some interaction phenomenas in Egypt, but also in Nubia where a new ceramic repertoire developed alongside the local ceramic industry.
This work has been divided in 3 parts. The first part corresponds to a presentation of archaeological sites and contexts used for the study. The second part presents a typological analysis of the Theban production. The last part is a synthetic analysis of the Theban pottery production.
The thesis tends to prove that the ceramic object is certainly a dating data and the testimony of a savoir-faire, but also the testimony of political and economical changes.

Babour, Taos. "Traditions céramiques en Jezira occidentale au IIIe mill. av. J.-C. : la poterie du secteur B de Tell Chuera." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040045.
The study of the pottery coming from a production area (Area B) associated with economic activities of one of the main temples of Tell Chuera (Northern Syria) provides insight into the production, the distribution and the use of ceramics at this urban center, in 2500 BC. After providing an overview of the geographical, historical and historiographical framework, this study presents a synthesis focusing on the specific features of the EJZ 3 assemblages in the Western Jezira and in the neighboring regions. This aims to collect available data on the production, the distribution and the function of pottery in these different regions. The technological, archaeometric and morphological analysis of the pottery from Area B clearly shows the specialization of productions at this time. However, the potters of Tell Chuera only partially mastered the use of the wheel. Inaddition to the choices made due to shaping technical constraints of some forms, this analysis also highlight the techno- and morpho-functional characteristics of certain pottery, particularly those used for storage and cooking. The morphometry of the containers, however, allows a quite limited functional approach and emphasizes their multifunctional nature. Except for a few areas, where installations and small finds provide information on the activities carried out there, the content of the vases found in situ remains unknown. Nevertheless, the comparative study of the pottery highlights interregional exchanges and the importation of commodities at Tell Chuera from the Karababa basin

Since the 1970’s, the impressive fortified structures of the Cuyes river valley -located in the south of Ecuador, at the border between the Andes and the Amazonian lowlands-, have caught the interest of anthropologists and archaeologists: were these structures built and inhabited by Andean populations? Amazonian? when and in what kind of context? The dissertation aims at bringing new data to the debate through the use of a methodology of analysis of ancient ceramics totally new for the archaeology of the region, based on the concept of “chaîne opératoire” and on an anthropological interpretation of the material

The amount of information available on ceramic ware from the different phases of Corsican protohistory is as quantitatively important as little studied. An analysis of these sources (43 collections from 35 sites) using a methodology based on ratios of proportion, as well as a critical re-examination of publications and radiocarbon dates, brings about a new understanding of the chrono-cultural structure of island groups between the Late Bronze and the Early Iron Ages. After resolving a few of the issues which led to previous arbitrary and incomplete analyses, it has been possible to generate a schema based on clearly defined material elements using seriation and periodisation. The main results show a complex polygenic structure in the ceramic assemblages, a subtle game of balance between tradition, borrowing and innovation in relationship to periods and contexts that plainly integrates Corsica in Tyrrhenian and Mediterranean dynamics at the dawn of the first historic societies

The diffusion and evolution of the Neolithic during the 6th millennium BCE in the north-western Mediterranean has been particularly studied from the pottery decoration, which is one of the main fossiles directeurs used to define chrono-cultural frameworks. Decorated mostly by impression, ceramics illustrate a strong polymorphism due to the presence and interaction of groups bearing different technical traditions. The stylistic and technological approaches to decoration implemented so far have allowed defining the various entities acting at the scale of the cultural area; however these approaches are struggling to establish a fine phylogeny of decorative modes at the regional and local scale.This thesis focused on renewing the methods for analyzing decors at the site level. Each link of the decorative chaîne opératoire has been broken down and described in order to restore the general dynamic of the decor. The approach, based on three-dimensional imaging and experimentation, offers relevant and quantified demonstrations, from the scale of the imprint to that of the vase. Analyses were systematically undertaken on each individual ceramic. All the data on the decoration subsystem was then placed back into the ceramic production system to have an integrated view.Implemented on the Castellar-Pendimoun site, the method delivered multiple results. Previously undetermined tools were identified, ornamentation processes were specified, but above all, the operating pattern for the realization of the decorations were highlighted. The latter aspect, which is a brand new one within the study of Impresso-Cardial decors of north-western Mediterranean, has allowed a better understanding of the rules of construction of ornamentation, as well as the methods of handling the pots during their decoration. The metric methods used to identify the types and sizes of shells used as decoration tools were revised. Methods developed in Forensics and other fields have been adapted to digito-nail imprints in order to discuss the identity of the potters: on the one hand their age, through nail negatives, and on the other hand their gender, through fingerprints. Multivariate analyses combining types of tools and decorative gestures allowed to identify on robust qualitative and quantitative bases the distinctive and evolutionary trends for one of the rare decorated pottery series of the first Neolithic period in Western Europe, between 5720 and 5020 BCE. The results were put into perspective at the scale of Liguria and Provence, notably by comparing them with data from Arene Candide and, more broadly, in the context of the Impressed Ware complex, from southern Italy to the shores of Languedoc. This new study thus contributes to a better perception of the dynamics at work during the 6th millennium BCE in this cultural area

While processes caracterising Early and Middle Neolithic are currently well defined, the middle of the Vth millenium is less documented. If, nowadays, the rejection of scenarios involving a rough rupture between Cardial and Chasséen seems to be broadly accepted, the period of the Vth millenium suffers form a problem inherent in so-called « transitional » periods: shall it be interpretated as the ending of the previous period or as the beginning of the next one ? Pottery remains constitute an avantageous support in order to follow the rhythmes and geography of cultural changes. Our work consist in developing a dual approach of the document, mobilizing both its technical and stylistic aspects in order to consider this type of material production not as a simple tool for defining chronocultural facies, but as a caracteristic of the socio-economic system of the Neolithic communities.The results highlights innovative regional dynamics and provides an overview of extraregional diffusions, outlining the shifting contours of the different cultural spaces that develop during the Vth millenium. Ultimately, these results allow to submit a historical scenario for the development of Neolithic communities

Two millennia after the arrival of the first Neolithic settlers, a “mosaic” of cultural groups appeared in Central-West France in the Late Neolithic period, c. 3700 BC. Except for the famous Peu-Richard culture of Saintonge, known for its ceramic decorations which are sometimes exuberant, all the groups of this cultural mosaic produce coarse and sparsely decorated ceramics, which are now difficult to distinguish just on morpho-stylistic criteria. However, these morphological criteria are commonly used for the definition of the Neolithic cultures. The origin and precise characterization of these Late Neolithic groups, and also their affiliation with the Artenac culture of the Final Neolithic period, are commonly discussed.To clarify this chrono-cultural context and understand the affiliations and interactions between groups of the Late and Final Neolithic (c. 3700-2200 BC), our study analyzes all the “chaine opératoire” of pottery manufacture from twenty-three ceramic assemblages from domestic (causewayed enclosures) and funeral sites which are distributed throughout the Central-West France, between Loire and Dordogne rivers. The aim of this work is to highlight the “ways of doing” transmitted in potters groups, as shown by multiple ethnoarchaeological studies. Eight ceramic traditions, characterized by the shaping methods, the clay material and finally the forms produced, are all successively presented and the most characteristic features of each ones are illustrated by macro-photos.Therefore, the chronological and spatial distributions of these ceramic traditions are discussed in order to test the validity of the current chrono-cultural context. Three cultural areas are identified in the second half of the Late Neolithic (Seuil du Poitou, Taizé and Peu-Richard) which offer the possibility to discuss their respective origins and the interactions between these areas. The emergence of a dominant culture (Peu-Richard) is observed and his power is perhaps related to the control of the salt exploitation in the poitevin and Rochefort marshes. The Peu-Richard ceramic productions, sometimes found at long-distance, are the ancestors of those of the Artenac culture whose area of influence extends beyond the Central-West borders in the Late Neolithic (c. 2900-2200 BC)

Pottery appearance investigation in the Dnepr-Dvina basin in the 7th-6th mill BC, its development and cultural traditions formation was the main subject of this paper. Several ceramic traditions existed here during early neolithic were distinguished. Their different origin, analogies with other various ceramic assemblages of Eastern Europe and the scheme of relative and absolute chronology were established. The analysis of 14C dates, spatial analysis, and analysis of distribution of vessels attributed to different ceramic phases on archaeological sites became the basis for relative and absolute chronology elaborated for this region. Also different other aspects were regarded, such as vessels’ function, technological, morphological and decor traditions, which reflected paflicularities of local cultures and processes of interaction between different communities. An important part of the thesis was devoted to the study of the place of early neolithic ceramic traditions of Dnepr-Dvina region in the context of ceramic assemblages of Eastern Europe. Thus severals models of neolithisation were proposed for this territory, also specifity of it was described. We might suppose transfer of only some components of ceramic traditions, and not the whole complex on new territories. Ceramic traditions of some of their particular constituents existed in different areas located far away from each other could indicate some commun cultural milieu, that united societies attributed now to different archaeological cultures

Mining and modeling tools are still missing to process the huge technical datasets collected in archaeological contexts. A methodology considered here takes into account both the needs of technologists reconstructing chaînes opératoires and statistical requirements. It leads to the presentation of a function partitioning chaînes opératoires : PACO. This is an automated process using the R statistical software which makes the analyses more rigorous and faster, and also more flexible while adapting to various chrono-cultural contexts. PACO is based on one simple rule and is understandable by everyone.The advantages of this tool are illustrated by an innovative case study. Pottery making techniques are identified on 16 habitation and 3 funerary sites of the upper Rhine Valley and surroundings, which date from the 10th to the 8th centuries B.C. Chaînes opératoires and technical traditions, which are inherited and transmitted, are reconstructed. This has led to an attempt at representing the networks of interplays between communities defined on a social and spatial basis. Places and conditions of pottery making are investigated through a re-reading of excavation reports and ceramic paste examination. Functional benefits of the different technical traditions and the co-representation of these traditions within ceramic assemblages are finally examined; this is an additional approach to consider complementary and competing productions at the dawn of the Iron Age

This research work focuses on Early Bronze Age ceramic production in Brittany and Central Western France. The study of the chains of operation constitutes the primary vector of this study in order to characterise the local evolution of technical traditions and to better understand the interactions between these two regions. The results obtained reveal the presence of similar productions but also of a common symbolism. These results are then considered in relation to the Atlantic exchange networks from Galicia to the British Isles and demonstrate the essential role of the maritime routes in early Protohistory. These observations, carried out on a local and then European scale, allow us to question the existence of an Atlantic cultural complex from the beginning of Bronze Age
Mielle, Lauriane. "Innovations et traditions en Nubie égyptienne au Nouvel Empire. L'exemple de la céramique." Thesis, Lille 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LIL30043.
The Egyptian occupation of Nubia during the New Kingdom has been the subject of numerous publications. The topics that are covered are often historical and archaeological, but few focus on the material culture itself. However, the Egyptian presence changed the traditions of the Nubian civilization, leaving a significant imprint on the material culture. The study of pottery production can not only understand the common history of the two civilizations, but also the meeting and the influence of two different cultures. It reveals what loans and artistic heritage

The purpose of this work is to give a total vision of the ceramic productions discovered in the area of Burgundy, based on the craft production ceramic centers from the roman period to the fifteenth century. This work includes informations concerning about sixty craft production centers. The archeological sites used in this work come from all over the present-day geografic Burgundy. The information have mostly been found in the archeological research reports consulted at the S. R. A. Of Dijon or in museums. On the other hand, some personal work made in the different museums of Burgundy complete these informations. There are three books compiling the informations. The first one shows differents aspects of the archeological sites of ceramic craft production, such as the environment, the firing structures, the bibilography relative to the sites and of course the pieces of pottery when it was possible to show them. The second one represents the analysis of all the informations discovered, including a state of the productions per periods and the possible observations on the evolutions during the sixteen centuries of this study. It ends with an opening on the produtions of other next door areas in order to give the potential possibilities of exchange clues for researches to come. The third one illustrates on Burgundy maps the different kinds of ceramics discovered, classified per periods and per typologies

En analysant la production des céramiques contemporaines Kongo, on peut s'efforcer de vérifier l'hypothèse selon laquelle les populations, qui se disent Kongo du Royaume de Kongo, sont effectivement héritières d'une formation sociopolitique ancienne et culturellement unitaire.
L’observation des chaînes opératoires céramiques des populations bantoues du groupe H10 (Manyanga, Sundi, Dondo, Kamba et Bembé) a permis de relever un certain nombre de convergences et de divergences techniques. Il n'y a pas de statut particulier, seules les femmes s'intéressent au façonnage des poteries. Elles travaillent seules ou en groupe organisé. Les matières premières, argile noire, grise, rouge ou blanche, ainsi que la psammite, sont exploitées sur les bords des rivières et leurs confluent et sur les flancs des collines. Ces matières premières sont extraites avec des outils utilisés habituellement pour les travaux agricoles, comme la houe ou la daba. L'argile est préparée par adjonction de psammite et malaxage sur une meule avec une molette. Le façonnage consiste à modeler un cône d'argile à base arrondie que la potière creuse pour former le fond et la panse des récipients. La partie supérieure des vases est façonnée par adjonction de colombins. Le décor intervient en deux temps :après le façonnage et après la cuisson. Lorsque l’ébauche a légèrement séché au soleil, les parois sont incisées avec une spatule, des arêtes de poisson ou au dicrotachynutans. Enfin, après quelques semaines de séchage, les poteries sont cuites en meules et décorées immédiatement à l’aide d’une décoction de bridelia ferruginea. Le contact du sel, les menstruations, les relations sexuelles sont interdits aux femmes potières pendant le façonnage des poteries.
Cette recherche a permis d’identifier deux grands ensembles de traditions céramiques Kongo au Bas-Congo. Le premier groupe comprend la céramique Manyanga et Sundi caractérisée par le façonnage au colombin, la cuisson des poteries en dépression et par le décor des poteries à la décoction de bridelia ferruginea. Le deuxième groupe comprend la céramique Dondo, Kamba et Bembe caractérisée par le façonnage sur un fond de cône à base arrondie, une technique de cuisson sur aire plane et des décors tracés au pinceau à l’aide d’une macération bridelia ferruginea.
Au terme de ce travail, nous avons aussi relevé plusieurs facteurs qui caractérisent l'unité culturelle des populations Kongo-Congolaises par-delà les divisions ethniques.

The thesis presented here is intended to identify the distinctive features of the Vietnamese ceramic tradition of the first millennium CE. This particular historical period of Chinese colonization of Vietnam is characterized, under ceramology, by a major technological innovation: the use of high temperature kilns to fire objects. This results in the production of ceramics with new characteristics reflecting both the technical advances of ceramic handicraft and the emergence of a mixed society which features are characteristics: the Sino-Vietnamese society. The kiln sites in the northern region of Vietnam, although they are few, are particularly active at a time when, apart from China, there is no country in the Far East using the high temperature kiln technology. The signs of the progressive appropriation by Vietnamese potters of the use of these kilns are associated to the production of the first glazed ceramics on the territory. At the end of the millennium, the beginning of changes in practices combines the visible increase of the kilns efficiency with the development of the production of glazed wares. This reaffirmation of the technical mastery of craftsmen is accompanied by a reorganization of the production, prior to the development of the Lý and Trần dynasties ceramic. Archaeological sources incite to replace the Vietnamese ceramic tradition in a wider context, that of an dialogue only with China, and help to reaffirm its inclusion in the active regional and interregional exchange networks of the large trade economy

In Western Europe, the later Bronze Age ceramics are recognized for a long time like fine one. Indeed, some potteries, although they are not turned, show a real know-how from the potters. The shaping, stage important of the chaîne opératoire of ceramics, is probably the element which shows a spaciotemporal stability more among the stages of manufacture or the even shape of the potteries. The techniques of manufacturing are characteristic of a society at a given time. The first stage thus consisted in apprehending the marks of shaping on the surface and to the heart of potsherd. For that purpose, we carried out, with Pierre Pétrequin, an experimental reference frame, only devoted to the shaping processes, based on types of shaping attested in archaeological and/or ethnographic context. About forty experimental series (each one made up of four potteries) were carried out. These characteristic marks were required on archaeological ceramics of the later Bronze Age. The studied collections belong to two sites from Franche-Comté (grotte de la Fontaine de la Roche à Courchapon and grotte de Vaux-les-Prés) and two sites from Savoie (Grésine Ouest à Brison-Saint-Innocent and le Saut de la Pucelle à Tresserve). The technological study demonstrates in particular that shaping can prove to be complex and that several techniques can be used on the same pot. The observation of the ceramic types — as plates or goblets for example — shows that these kind of pottery are not shaped in the same way during the Late Bronze age. It also appears that some ceramic asks for a high know-how level, which can't be within range of all. Although only few material traces of elements like slow rotary systems or potters' furnaces of potters were found, their use is however probable but not systematic. This study is situated in a wider perspective both in time — evolution(s) and in space — from the household to the cultural area

In 1759, at the beginning of what is called the Industrial Revolution, Josiah Wedgwood created his own company. Inheriting a regional and family tradition, he transformed a craft into a profitable industry. His firm provided him with endless possibilities of experiments in production processes, staff management or innovating marketing techniques developed with his partner Thomas Bentley. A strong believer in the idea of universal improvement so pervasive in this period of Enlightenment, he put his fame and his skills in the service of the political or human fights which he thought justified. He also tried to shape and to improve the aesthetic taste of his contemporaries, playing an active role in spreading neo-classicism. The material and spiritual heritage he left proved a heavy burden for the following generations, who managed to ensure the survival of the company in spite of adverse trade conditions. The second part of the XXth century is the beginning of another key period in the history of this 250-year-old company which is now facing deep changes and serious issues like mergers, outsourcing or relocating production

This thesis is a departure from the traditional archaeological pottery analysis in Kenya, where emphasis has been on decorations and forms. It uses a technological approach to offer additional information on Bantu pottery whose social boundary has been a cause of disagreement between different researchers. Pottery decorations and forms have been/are still powerful instruments in defining archaeological spatial and temporal distribution of prehistoric populations, but the ability of these attributes as social boundary markers is limited by their overt visibility on the finished product. Whilst this explicit visibility is an advantage for archaeologists who seek to explore temporal and spatial distributions of different wares, it is also disadvantageous since it makes it possible for communities which are socially, ethnically, and linguistically distinct to copy from each other hence making these two salient pottery features unreliable indicators of social boundaries. Therefore, this study puts emphasis on the forming stage, which is not obvious on the finished product and must be learnt by apprenticeship only through kinship, as demonstrated by numerous ethnographic studies. Using chaîne opératoire as an analytical tool for archaeological material and ethnographic, experimental and ethno-historical data as reference and interpretive tools, this study sought to establish the social boundaries of makers of Tana ware which is a disputed Iron Age pottery of Bantu speakers. Some archaeologists attribute its origins to Bantu speakers whilst others attribute it to Cushitic speakers. Archaeological data was collected from Manda and Ungwana sites assemblages and ethnographic reference data was collected from Cushitic and Bantuspeakers from the Coastal and Highland regions of Kenya. Ethno-historical data was derived from library resources while experimental data were obtained from the field. This study demonstrated that due to the nature of archaeological peopling and interactions which exposed different ethnolinguistic groups to material cultures of the other, borrowing of cultural traits took place causing distinct populations to have pottery of similar decorations and forms. It has also demonstrated that pottery chaîne opératoire can show population continuity or discontinuity from archaeological to modern times. Most importantly, this thesis has demonstrated that Tana ware has its origins from Bantu speakers, and that its decorations have their origins from Cushitic speakers. It has also confirmed the movement of Meru ethnic group from the Coast of Kenya to Mt. Kenya region, by providing tangible data to linguistic, historical and oral evidences. The last part of this work gives directions of future research on pottery analysis in Kenya, and outlines some questions pertaining to Bantu and Cushitic speakers which remain to be answered

The history of the population remains a key issue in archaeology. In this study, we proposed to trace the migratory history of the eastern margin of the Inner Niger Delta by examining macro-traces of assemblage identified on the ceramic from the Iron Age archaeological sites and located within three sub-regions (the Inner Niger Delta, the Gourma and the Dogon Country), which are part of the study area. It aims to understand the mechanisms of population of each sub-region, comprehend the relationship between the sub-regions and establish a dynamic relationship between ceramic traditions and communities in the region. Through a multidisciplinary approach involving both historical, ethno- archaeological and archaeological information, we have shown that settlement and ceramic traditions found in each sub-region and traditions are part of a historical and social dynamics common to the eastern margin of the inner Niger Delta

In Western Europe, the second half of the 4th millennium is a turning point. On the Swiss Plateau, this phase is characterized by the end of Middle Neolithic cultures (Cortaillod and Pfyn) around 3550 BCE, and the emergence of Horgen after 3250 BCE. The transition between these two phases is now better documented thanks to Port-Conty type and Pfyn/Horgen settlements dated around 3400 BCE. This work aims to identify the cultural substract at the origin of the Horgen by characterizing the technical identities and entanglements at the end of the 4th millennium, then by identifying over time the transmission or abandonment of certain ways of making pots in order to determine the share of local identities in the establishment of the Horgen.We propose to take up these questions by studying the technological aspects of pottery production between 3650 and 3000 BCE in the Trois-Lacs region and its margins. The shaping of bases, which involves motor habits acquired during the initial learning process, is considered as a good indicator for highlighting technical traditions. This sequence of the “chaîne opératoire” shows a great diversity in the used techniques without any direct correlation with ceramic morphologies. The analysis proposed here has therefore confirmed the existence of entanglements with, sometimes, an identification of direct contacts. It has also made it possible to propose technical boundaries that limit the range of one or other of the technical traditions, and whose position and role seem to have changed over time. Indeed, the detailed study of these corpora has made it possible to characterize the phenomenon of transmission, whether at the individual level with the identification of learning pots, or at the collective level and over time with the transmission, abandonment or emergence of techniques over several centuries

In Gallia Belgica, the southern part of the Menapian and Nervian civitates, as well as the northern part of the Atrebates territory are characterized by multiple landscapes. The analysis of local pottery production illustrates the complexity of the economic relationships and their different expressions of cultural identity, achieved through an integrated approach of macroscopic, petrographic and chemical description of local kiln site material, combined with a systematical identification of pottery from consumption sites. This method permits us to study the pottery distribution patterns and thus an analysis of economic and cultural interaction. In the western part of the studied area the Menapians preserve the traditional indigenous technique of hand-made pottery, while in the eastern part the Atrebates and the Nervians change to wheel-turned pottery and a choice of specific clays by the middle of the first century AD. The reasons for this difference in choices and techniques are multiple, but the land-use plays a fundamental role. The presence of well-adapted clay material, the production of specific delicacies and foodstuffs and the arrival of exogenous populations, are crucial factors leading to this technical contrast. The integrated approach of studying both the consumption and production material also assists in answering questions about the organization of the potter’s production: identification of clay mixtures, the alteration or upholding of certain mixtures, recognition of testing periods and abandoning of clay mixes, specialization and the conservation, transferring or movement of techniques or of potters. These themes can be developed for pottery kiln sites focusing on the production of wheel-turned pottery, sold for its qualities instead of its contents

The drome has delivered some ceramics generaly assigned to the period of the transition late age bronze early iron age. The ceramic study permits of several conclusions. In the viii th century, this region was a zone of contacts between 2 cultural facies. In the north, the settlements of moras, st-uze belong a alpin facies close to the swiss and french facies. In the south, the settlements of saou, donzere and trente-pas belong to a southern facies, close to the provence and languedoc facies. This inclination is valid for the settlements of the earliest iron age in le pegue and donzere of the viith century. The documents import the birth of the iron age in the south-east of france. The vases of moras and saou are decorated with animal figures, which may be compared with italic examples from ameno, dated by fibula from iron age. This type of decoration may constitue a serious features to identify the beginning of a new age. It shows the distortions between the chronological system proposed for languedoc and northern france. Finally, in viiith century, the representations of riders and chariots testifig the existence of warior aristocracy, which will be developed in the early iron age. However, we have still to determine the reasons of the emergence, the nature of their power, the composition of their society. The solutions to these questions may lead to a better knowlegde of their economy
