Abstract

ABSTRACT Archaeological studies of pottery production have given little attention to the productive uses of water, building historical discourses without taking into consideration its crucial role in many chaînes opératoires. Structures related to the use of water in pottery-making, such as wells, cisterns, or settling ponds, are very rarely discussed. This article aims to remedy that situation by contributing archaeological, ethnoarchaeological, and experimental evidence of the importance of water and structures related to the use of water in large-scale pottery production in workshops in ancient and traditional Iberia. We propose recognition of the importance of water use in pottery production to develop a greater understanding of how pottery workshops have operated in diverse geographical and chronological contexts.

粘土，火，空气，主要是水:通过整合民族考古，实验和考古研究，了解古代伊比利亚陶器作坊水资源的重要性

陶器生产的考古研究很少关注水的生产利用，建立历史话语，而没有考虑到它在许多cha nes opsamatoires中的关键作用。与制陶用水有关的结构，如水井、蓄水池或沉淀池，很少被讨论。本文旨在通过提供考古、民族考古和实验证据来纠正这种情况，这些证据表明水的重要性以及与古代和传统伊比利亚车间大规模陶器生产中用水有关的结构。我们建议认识到用水在陶器生产中的重要性，以更好地了解陶器作坊在不同地理和时间背景下的运作方式。

期刊介绍： Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
