- Cíle předmětu
- The course is designed for BA level students with little background knowledge of ceramics, ceramic studies, or Near Eastern archaeology. In the meetings we look at the role of ceramics in prehistoric societies of the ancient Near East. Using our imaginary time machine we travel through the early history of pottery, from the first introduction of pottery around 7000 cal. BC until the development of mass-produced assemblages in the later fourth millennium BC. From a methodological and theoretical perspective, we also look at what archaeologists actually do with pottery, and how they use ceramics to reconstruct ancient societies. Recent archaeological work in the Near East yields exciting new insights in the role of ceramics in prehistoric societies; current interpretations are discussed and summarized to provide students an understanding of the cultural context. Students become acquainted with prehistoric ceramics from the region, and they learn for themselves how to identify successive cultural stages on the basis of ceramics. The course stimulates them to adopt a critical approach to the archaeological literature, and to develop their own perspective. The course provides a firm basis for further study. The course starts with a review of pottery studies in general: the history of ceramic analysis, key concepts and models, and with a review of the application of pottery studies to, specifically, the archaeology of the ancient Near East. We continue with perhaps one of the most challenging issues in prehistoric archaeology: when, where and why did prehistoric communities in the Near East start making pottery, and what did the earliest pottery look like? Then we explore the later stages of the Pottery Neolithic, characterized by an array of attractively-decorated pottery styles, known as the Hassuna, Samarra and Halaf cultures. We go on with the final echoes of the painted pottery, during the Early Chalcolithic ‘Ubaid culture. We conclude with the rise of mass-produced, industrially-made ceramics during the Uruk period.
