| Research Abstract |
This study has hypothetically revealed a couple of remarkable observations on the pottery production in the West Asian urbanization, the Ubaid to Uruk periods, by using XRF, XRF and DSC analyses. A careful preparation of pigments through the manufacturing process might indicate tentative firing, ca. 500 to 800 ℃ ,of a lump of levigated clay mixed with limestone and hematite before painting. Both the temperature of reduction firing for Gray Burnished Ware and of thekeyhole-shaped pottery kiln in the first stage of the Late Chalcolithic era, Early Uruk-related period, could be lower than that of the painted pottery and related firing equipmentin the Ubaid period.
