The article
presents the results of an experiment on the reconstruction of the pottery
production of the Chirik-Rabad culture, which was
conducted in the field seasons of 2022—2023 at the site adjacent to the
unique pottery workshop of the Chirik-Rabad culture
of the Babish Mola
archaeological complex. The purpose of the study was the practical and
theoretical reconstruction of the stages of pottery production of ancient
farmers and cattle breeders of the lower reaches of the Syrdarya
in the second half of the 1st millennium BCE. In the course of experimental
work, based on the analysis of ceramics of the Chirik-Rabad
culture, production cycles were recreated, starting from the collection of
raw materials and determining the characteristics of the molding mass, the
construction of vessels, firing and ending with the production of final
items. A detailed technical and technological analysis of experimental
ceramics norms, as well as the results of a comparative analysis of standards
and products of the pottery manufacture of the Chirik-Rabad
culture, allowed us to identify specific features in the pottery production
of ancient farmers and cattle breeders of the lower reaches of the Syrdarya river in the second half of the 1st millennium
BCE. |
