Sažetak
This paper presents the results of an analysis of ceramic vessel shaping techniques from the early medieval cemetery of Razbojine near Kašić. Employing a clearly defined methodological framework for the macroscopic analysis of wheel-coiling – a technique characteristic of hand-wheel use – the study identifies distinct strategies in the utilization of the hand-wheel’s rotational capabilities. In its objectives, this research departs from the traditional morpho-stylistic approach still prevalent in Croatian archaeological literature on early medieval ceramics, which often lacks detailed descriptions of shaping techniques. Three chaines operatoires have been reconstructed, providing deeper insights into local technical traditions and revealing technological diversity within a seemingly uniform ceramic assemblage, closely linked to potters’ skills and training. While direct comparisons with contemporary cemeteries in the region are currently not possible, the results are contextualized against similar analyses of early medieval ceramics from sites further inland. This study emphasizes the need for more comprehensive investigations into hand-wheel traditions and craftsmanship in early medieval Croatia.
