Abstract

The paper presents the results of the archaeological analysis of Late Bronze Age pottery making techniques, carried out on the potsherds from the Kalnik – Igrišče site. It is pottery from the last phase of the Late Bronze Age or the younger phase of the Urnfield culture. The paper discusses the trace evidence of the making of vessels, from building techniques, surface treatment and decoration, to the process of firing vessels. The results of the archaeological analysis show that the primary vessel making technique at the very end of the Bronze Age was based on the old traditions, already observed in the older phase of the Urnfield culture, but new and different practices have also been observed.
