Sažetak
This paper investigates the raw materials, techniques, and use of Bronze Age pottery from the Dugiš site in Otok near Sinj, Croatia, which was excavated in the 1950s. It includes a mineralogical and petrographic analysis of ceramics from one part of the collection (quadrant XIII) to characterize the clay paste. The study also encompasses an examination of manufacturing techniques and a categorization of traces of forming and surface treatment of ceramic vessels. The objective is to identify the characteristics of the raw materials used for pottery production at the Dugiš site and to compare these with pottery recipes and production techniques in the broader Dalmatian region. Furthermore, usewear traces on the vessels were analysed in order to better understand their use in everyday activities. Preliminary results indicate a high degree of homogeneity in the production of Bronze Age ceramics at the Dugiš site, with an emphasis on the use of locally available raw materials and the application of specific production techniques and firing methods. This homogeneity in pottery production reflects the presence of well organized communities capable of effectively coordinating craftsmen, resources, and needs. Additionally, the pottery exhibits numerous usewear traces, suggesting frequent use of the vessels in activities such as thermal processing of food and fermentation of their stored contents.
