Pottery In Ancient Egypt

Uses of pots in ancient cultures

The remants of the pots we find today indentify the crafts people that made them.

By looking into how the pots were created we understand the technological advances progressed with the passing years.

Pots do more to show the culture of the civilization as a whole than paintings do. By understanding how the average ancient Egyptian lived we can better understand how the society as a whole operated.

Pots are key to helping us into understanding the economy of ancient Egypt

Difference in Rarity

Rare and valueable pots are also often time harder to reessemble than their common counter parts.

Common pottery can often times reveal information that the opulant, rare, ceramics can not.

Different Stages of Forming

Finishing leaves marks of the surface of the pot such as smoothing.

Secondary Forming may add or change evidence left behind by primary forming. Both in the material and surface of the pot.

Different stages of forming can distort or distroy evidence left by previous stages in the devopmental process. However this is not always the case

Forming methods are determind by size and form of the pottery being made.

Tools that were used can be discovered by the way they broke.

If a pot that was made in the coiling method break it is characterized by repetative circular paterning in the break.

Pots made with The Potter Wheel can be indentified by the way they broke. A broken pot made this way leaves spiral markings. They tend to break in a spiral upwardly.
