- Résumé
- The site of Kaman-Kalehoyuk, in central Turkey, has a long and distant past. The material that has been excavated from this archaeological site has included pottery. During the Late Iron Age (late Phrygian), 800 to 600 BC, such pottery was thrown right side up on the wheel. During a successive period, referred to either as Old Hittite or Assyrian Colony, in the second millennium BC, pottery was thrown upside down on the wheel. The result of this change in technique is a characteristic dimple in the base. Between these two periods in history of the site, the Dark Ages occurred and lasted from 1200 to 800 BC. During this era knowledge of ceramic technology is scant because of the limited materials available. The purpose of this project is to determine through a comparative analysis the means by which pottery was made at Kaman-Kalehoyuk during the Dark Ages. The techniques chosen for this are x-ray radiography and xero-radiography, both non-destructive techniques.
