Sigita Mikšaitė · Estonian Journal of Archaeology · 2005
The pottery of Narva Culture was the first ceramics in the East Baltic Region.In the course of practical experiment, the questions related to the production technology of Neolithic pottery were resolved and studied in detail.That includes clay preparation, coil joining, ornamentation and firing.Vessels were made experimentally, giving an understanding of the archaic techniques and traditions of the Neolithic potters.Two ways for ceramics firing, namely field hearth and pile-fire have been tested.Narva-tüüpi keraamika oli esimene keraamikaliik Ida-Baltikumis.Praktiliste eksperimentide käigus uuriti üksikasjalikult neoliitilise keraamika valmistamise tehnoloogiaga seotud küsimusi: savi ettevalmistamine, savilintide ühendamine, nõude kaunistamine ja põletamine.
