The role of experimental research on ceramics in the identification of intangible cultural heritage

Abstract

Pottery is the most durable artifact in archeology that could be used to determine the technological level, as well as helpful identification of ancient people's life. Existence of the technological method of ancient man that evolved in response to their environment is the subject of research in experimental archeology and evidence of existence of the intangible cultural heritage. Studying the neolith technology and possible interaction with later cultures includes multidisciplinary study. Initial research is aimed to classification, structure and artifacts studies that could lead to assumptions aboutthe preparation technique of pottery from archaeological site of Pločnik.
