| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Prehistoric potteries are important as an information source of ancient culture and state of the art because they are made by many artificial processes such as preparation of clay raw materials, shaping, decorating, and firing. Potteries from western Asia at the 6th to 7th millennium BC are important to understand the development of pyrotechnology in the area because this period corresponds to the earliest stage of pottery production and craft skills using fireworks. In this project, we surveyed chemical and mineralogical compositions, micro-textures, and firing temperatures of early Late Neolithic pottery sherds from Tappeh Sang-e Chakhmaq, central Iran, and Tell el-Kerkh 2, northwest Syria in 6th millennium BC to investigate the state of pyrotechnologies at the first appearance time of potteries in ancient western Asia.
