Drawing pottery



Drawing pottery is going on - training some students with good  results. Even complicated vessels like decorated turibula can be done after one day of exercise. Some students do enjoy staying  in the lab
after weeks on site.


Why is pottery drawing so important?
Pottery is a tool to date the contexts and learn more about the function and the economical background of the site. Therefore we need the drawings of the fragments to determine the types of the vessels.
No artistic skills are needed to draw pottery: everybody can learn  it! But some students have more patience than others...
