Pottery is one the most ubiquitous artefacts we recover archaeologically and is often the backbone of chronologies for understanding past cultures, but what if there’s a bigger story that it can tell us? Caroline Jeffra and Richard Thér join us for October’s #FinallyFriday to dive deep into the archaeology of technology. In this episode of The EXARC Show, we explore the world of possibilities that studying the potter’s wheel can expose. Join us for discussions on the nature of innovation in the past and present, the cutting edge of materials research, and the ways that technology sheds light on the social worlds of past peoples.
