About the Event
Following the 6th experimental archaeological workshop, in which we learn how to create ancient cooking pots from the Bronze Age, we will exhibit several different models of ancient cooking pots that were used in that era in various different places in the Mediterranean.
During the Bronze Age, the craftspeople of the eastern Mediterranean practiced a form of reuse or recycling: fragments of mortar were used as aggregates in lime mixtures intended for walls or floors (Shaw, 1973, p.222; Brysbaert, 2003, pp.168-173, pp.175-176; Jones, 2005, p.220; Brysbaert, 2008, p.118). Such a mixture was found in a house in the Akrotiri settlement of Santorini, in a part of the wall that was intended to be painted (Jones, 2005, p.220).
The 6th Archaeological Experimental Ceramics Workshop will take place this August in Foini!
In this workshop we will explore the techniques and technologies of the Bronze Age with the reconstruction of ancient cooking pots of Cyprus and the surrounding Mediterranean countries.
