La céramique culinaire africaine

Abstract

First brought to notice in the 1980s as a variant of African cookware, Uzita 48.1 has since come to be included in the morphological range of this type of pottery. Since appearing as the subject of a monograph in 1993, the number of fragments identified has grown twenty-fold, most of them located on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearics. The analyses of the most recent finds have prompted new proposals for the chronology and function of this form.
