Download or read book How Things Make History written by Astrid van Oyen and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bright red terra sigillata pots dating to the first three centuries CE can be found throughout the Western Roman provinces. The pots' widespread distribution and recognisability make them key evidence in the effort to reconstruct the Roman Empire's economy and society. Drawing on recent ideas in material culture, this book asks a radically new question: what was it about the pots themselves that allowed them to travel so widely and be integrated so quickly into a range of contexts and practices? To answer this question, Van Oyen offers a fresh analysis in which objects are no longer passive props, but rather they actively shape historical trajectories.

Download or read book Low firing and Burnishing written by Sumi von Dassow and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers techniques of firing and finishing at low temperature without using glazes. Many ancient cultures and contemporary potters use methods of low firing, adding slips and burnishing pieces to create a more natural finish. The advantages are that it can be done without a kiln using old dustbins, pits dug out of the earth, or bonfires, meaning that providing you have outdoor space, it can be done on a low budget. This book is a step-by-step practical approach and beginner's guide, which focuses on how to do low firing and natural finishes, with many illustrations of beautiful work by contemporary makers. Chapters include burnishing, terra sigillata, smoke-firing, pit-firing, saggar firing and raku techniques.
Download or read book Names on Terra Sigillata P to RXEAD written by Brian Hartley and published by Institute of Classical Studies. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Names on Terra Sigillata, the product of 40 years of study, records over 5,000 names and some 300,000 stamps and signatures on Terra Sigillata (samian ware) manufactured in the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD in Gaul, the German provinces and Britain. To be published in 10 volumes, the work has been supported by the British Academy and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the University of Leeds and the University of Reading, and the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum. This is the first catalogue of its type to appear since Felix Oswald's Index of Potters' Stamps on Terra Sigillata ('Samian Ware'), published in 1931. The importance of samian as a tool for dating archaeological contexts and the vast increase in samian finds since then has prompted the authors to record the work of the potters in greater detail, illustrating, whenever possible, each individual stamp or signature which the potter used, and enumerating examples of each vessel type on which it appears, together with details of find-spots, repositories and museum accession numbers or excavators' site codes. Dating of the potters' activity is supported, as far as possible, by a discussion of the evidence. This is based on the occurrence of material in historically-dated contexts or on its association with other stamps or signatures dated by this method. The bulk of the material was examined personally by the authors, from kiln sites and occupation sites in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Britain, but the catalogue also includes published records which they were able to verify, both from those areas and from other parts of the Roman Empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Terra Sigillata: Treated From a Chronological Standpoint Next to datable inscriptions, there is, perhaps, no relic of Roman occupa tion which yields such valuable chronological evidence as Term Sigillata the red-glazed fabric of Gaul and other provinces - commonly known as Samian ware. The variations and transmutations of its forms, the changing character of its decorative designs in successive periods, and the marks of its potters, tell a chronological tale almost, if not quite, as convincing as the transitions of the column and arch in architecture.
