Village potters of the Troodos Mountains: ceramic production in Agios Demetrios, Cyprus 1891-2002

| Zusammenfassung: | "On the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, four generations of female potters shaped pottery from local clays between 1891 to 2002. In the remote Troodos Mountain village of Agios Demetrios, over the course of a century, 46 people coil-built thousands of jars, jugs, cookware, beehives, ovens, and decorative pots by hand annually. My ethnoarchaeological research recorded the production, disposition, use, and reuse of the market-oriented wares. Quantitative data on pot sizes, production rates, firing times, and rate of loss assess the industry and have implications for archaeologists worldwide who are concerned with craft specialization and standardization, learning frameworks, markings on pots, and identifying production locations. Nearly identical pots made in the lowland village of Kornos display subtle differences and nuances. Archaeologists can develop strategies to recognize contemporaneous ancient wares originating at different production centers. The traditional pots and potters serve as a template for the organization of the ancient pottery industry." "This volume is a study of four generations of female potters working in a remote Cypriot mountain village. Their coil-built jars, jugs, cookware, beehives, ovens, and decorative pots are the subject of Gloria London’s ethnoarchaeological research, including her quantitative data on pot dimensions, production rates, firing times, and rate of loss. The material evidence of potting practice is informed by 40 years of ongoing observation and conversations with the potters and their families. The history of production encapsulates the rich diversity of responses to economic and social challenges of individual potters, their extended families, and social networks within and between the mountain villages of the recent past. This addition to the archaeology of rural landscapes and preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of the Troodos will serve archaeologists worldwide who are concerned with craft specialization and standardization, learning frameworks, markings on pots, identifying production locations, and modelling the potential microhistories of potters that can be postulated from settlement evidence." |

Their coil-built jars, jugs, cookware, beehives, ovens, and decorative pots are the subject of Gloria London’s ethnoarchaeological research, including her quantitative data on pot dimensions, production rates, firing times, and rate of loss. The material evidence of potting practice is informed by 40 years of ongoing observation and conversations with the potters and their families. The history of production encapsulates the rich diversity of responses to economic and social challenges of individual potters, their extended families, and social networks within and between the mountain villages of the recent past. This addition to the archaeology of rural landscapes and preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of the Troodos will serve archaeologists worldwide who are concerned with craft specialization and standardization, learning frameworks, markings on pots, identifying production locations, and modelling the potential microhistories of potters that can be postulated from settlement evidence."
