Course objectives

Students of this course will obtain basic introduction to technology of ceramic production and macroscopical, microscopical, and physical-chemical methods of description. Practical demonstrations of ceramic micropetrography and description of selected samples will be introduced. At the end of the course students should be able to understand technological processes of pottery production in the history, phase and chemical chnages running at firing of various materails. The students will be able to use the information gained by optical study for identification of pottery artefacts provenance.

Syllabus
