Ceramic production in Granada and in the southeast of Iberian Peninsula during the late middle Ages. Clays, tools and pots - some preliminary notes

Abstract

This work presents the preliminary features of ceramics production in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula and especially in Granada during the late middle Ages. This research is based on complementary archaeometrical analyses carried out on clays from traditional quarries used in the area, as well as on ceramics that were selected as representative due to their chronology, origin (the area where potters’ workshops were located) and function (tools used by the potters).
