Abstract
The paper examines the characteristics of Early Bronze Age pottery composition in continental Croatia as an expression of specific and characteristic technological choices. The research is based on the results of newly conducted analyses of the material from the Kurilovec – Belinščica site, but also on the existing results of research of pottery from the broader region. The paper provides a macroscopic description of the structure of pottery and the results of thin section analysis using optical microscopy, with the goal of scientifically defining its technological characteristics. The aim is to use the method of comparing the technological and individual stylistic characteristics of Early Bronze Age ceramic material to identify specific features of pottery practice that had its time period confirmed by radiocarbon dating too.
