Petrography methods have
long been successfully used in geology to describe and classify rocks.
In the late half of the 19th century, they were borrowed by
researchers to study clay products in order to establish the component
composition of raw materials and minerals used as a
non-plastic additives, as well as to determine the degree of their
changes in the process of decarbonitization. In
addition, petrography makes it possible to study organic residues in the
composition of the molding mass in order to determine the firing temperature
of the product. Over time, the approach has grown into a separate discipline
called ceramic petrography and has become, in fact, an archaeological method
of studying clay artifacts, combining traditional archaeological procedures
(visual, morphological, typological analyses, etc.) and scientific methods.
The article deals with Russian and foreign historiography devoted to the petrographic analysis, mainly of fired vessels. The main
emphasis is placed on research that touches on the
main milestones of the development of the method itself, as well as
characterizing the experience of its application in the study of pottery
making in classical antiquity. The article also touches upon the problems of
the current state of ceramic petrography in Russian science. |
