CRAFTER: Re-creating Vatin Pottery

Abstract

An attempt to re-create pottery of the Vatin culture has been made within the Crafter project (Crafting Europe in the Bronze Age and Today), whose aim is to help revive modern-day artisanship by drawing inspiration from Bronze Age pottery of four European Bronze Age societies: El Argar (Spain), Únětice (Central Europe), Füzesabony (eastern Hungary) and Vatin (Serbia). This experimental work has been made by a team of The Museum at Paraćin, Serbia, is one of members of the project, and presented experimental archaeology results at the recent CRAFTER workshop held in in Mula, Spain, between 29th to 30th 2018, an event which gathered 30 specialists as part of a project programme.
