Advanced Course in Ceramics: Technological Analysis Presented by the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Pretoria

“The life of a pot”! How it was made in different areas and time periods, how it was used and how it was discarded and secondary use are the different stages in the life of a pot. Each one of these stages will be illuminated by means of different laboratory analysis in combination with lectures to help us interpret how man in different societies have worked and interacted with his environment. The laboratory analysis of the Advanced Course in Ceramics: Technological Analysis will be focused on manufacture and microscopy of ceramic thin-sections, preparation of samples and analysis using an h-XRF followed by interpretation of data. Lectures on the geology of Southern Africa and its implications on how to interpret results of laboratory analysis.
