Course content
|
Modern archaeological methods of study of the medieval and modern pottery are focused on three basic areas: 1) Ceramologic-archaeometric study enables the students to recognize the entire technological process beginning with provenience, production and distribution of pottery. Special attention will be paid to limits and possibilities of study of the medieval pottery through petroarchaeological and physico-chemical methods. 2) Study of the archaeological contexts will be focused on ways of emergence (archaeologization) of ceramic sets through formative and post-depositional processes in types of archaeological contexts regarding their various socio-economic and functional interpretations. 3) Typological ? chronological study will be focused on methods of formalized descriptive description, classification and quantification of pottery. The students will be introduced to questions of dating of archaeological contexts and to the basic regional pottery sequences from the 13th to the 18th century. They will also be provided with overview of the basic synthesis multidimensional methods (PCA, seriation, correspondence analysis).
