Ceramics

Full-time archaeologist working in Malta with a masters degree in experimental archaeology that mainly focused on metallurgy, ceramics and theory. I frequently find myself reading about and trying out different traditional techniques.

I'm professional archaeologist, graduated from Novosibirsk State University in History/Archaeology. Received PhD in History, had more than 8 years of post-doctoral research in archaeology with the focus on Bronze Age ceramics.

I first ventured into the history and heritage industry with my husband in 1988, presenting living history for heritage and education. As part of this, we presented both the social and military aspects of the past.

Assistant professor at the University of Bologna (Italy) in Prehistory and Protohistory since 2000, I have devoted main interest in the reconstruction of Bronze Age life in several parts of the world (Italy, Arabian peninsula, Central Asia).

Self-employed potter and experimental archaeologist. I make pottery replicas of prehistoric British wares, mainly Bronze Age Beakers and Collared Urns. I also make contemporary ceramics that are heavily inspired by ancient pots, including functional beakers.

My PhD in Archaeology, at Edinburgh University, examined the objects interpreted as clay drums, from the Trichterbecher culture (TRB - 3300-2700 BC). During this time, I constructed models of the different drum styles in order to investigate the techniques of attaching a drum-skin. 

I am an independent archaeologist working in cultural resource management in Arizona (Ph.D., Anthropology, UCLA, 1981), which mostly involves conducting archaeological surveys for companies or agencies planning activities that may affect archaeological remains.

My name is Roberto Deriu. After having received a Master of Art at the Art Institute for Ceramics in Faenza in 1991, I graduated in Conservation of Cultural Heritage at the University of Bologna, degree thesis in History of Handicraft Production and the Culture of Materials.
