ABSTRACT

Archaeological studies of pottery production have given little attention to the productive uses of water, building historical discourses without taking into consideration its crucial role in many chaînes opératoires. Structures related to the use of water in pottery-making, such as wells, cisterns, or settling ponds, are very rarely discussed. This article aims to remedy that situation by contributing archaeological, ethnoarchaeological, and experimental evidence of the importance of water and structures related to the use of water in large-scale pottery production in workshops in ancient and traditional Iberia. We propose recognition of the importance of water use in pottery production to develop a greater understanding of how pottery workshops have operated in diverse geographical and chronological contexts.

摘要

陶器生产的考古研究很少关注水的生产性使用，在构建历史话语时没有考虑到它在许多链式歌剧院中的关键作用。与制陶用水有关的结构，例如水井、蓄水池或沉淀池，很少被讨论。本文旨在通过提供考古学、民族考古学和实验证据来证明水的重要性以及与水在古代和传统伊比利亚的作坊大规模陶器生产中的用水有关的结构的重要性，从而纠正这种情况。我们建议认识到用水在陶器生产中的重要性，以更好地了解陶器作坊如何在不同的地理和时间背景下运作。
