Tracing the Potter's Wheel - Experimental Reference Collection

The Tracing the Potter’s Wheel project (TPW) experimental reference collection is designed to facilitate forming technology assessment through experimental reproduction and macrotrace analysis, as well as 3D scanning and data visualisation. TPW investigates how to identify methods of wheel use in ceramic production, to reconstruct ancient networks of technological transmission within the Bronze Age Aegean. We provide high-quality resources and standardized guidelines for researchers to learn how to technologically assess ceramic assemblages in their own research, in all periods and regions in which the potter’s wheel was a viable technology. Please note: the data files belonging to this dataset comprise a total size of 538 GB. Due to its size, the data is archived on DANS secure storage outside of EASY. A file list with an overview of all available files is available on the Data files tab. Please contact DANS in order to obtain acccess to the files.
