Abstract (croatian)

U radu su prikazani rezultati preliminarne analize ulomaka keramike na osnovi kojih je provedena karakterizacija lončarskih smjesa korištenih za izradu posuda licenskih karakteristika i posuda Kisapostag kulture iz brončanog doba. Na manjem broju uzoraka napravljena je petrografsko-mineraloška analiza, a na većem broju makroskopska analiza dokumentirana makrofotografijom svježeg loma uzorka. Analiza je napravljena na keramičkom materijalu s nekoliko nalazišta na području Podravine i Posavine. Rezultati upućuju na korištenje lokalnih, lako dostupnih izvora sirovine te na praksu namjernog dodavanja čestica stijena veličine pijeska i šljunka u glinovitu smjesu vrlo dobre kvalitete.

Abstract (english)

The paper presents the results of a preliminary analysis of pottery fragments based on which characterization of clay paste was done, which was used for making vessels of Litzen ceramic style and pottery of Kisapostag culture. The petrographic and mineralogical analysis was made on a small number of samples (4 samples), while the macroscopic analysis which is documented by macro-photography of the fresh breakage of ceramic was made on 22 samples. Ceramic material from several sites in the Podravina and Posavina region in north-west Croatia was analyzed (Tab. 1). The aim of the preliminary research is to determine the composition of the coarse and fine ceramic structure and to compare the clay paste used for making Litzen style pottery and the vessels of the Kisapostag culture. The aim is also to determine whether there are differences in the selection of the recipe for the clay paste preparation within two different pottery style. The results of macroscopic (Figs. 1–3; Tab. 2), petrographic and mineralogical (Tab. 3) analysis showed that ceramic samples are composed of subangular, very fine and fine, mainly quartz inclusions, very well-sorted and naturally-present. The clayey material was tempered with sparse to very common rock grains, medium to coarse and very coarse in size, with subrounded and rounded edges. Petrographic analysis on a thin section made on one sample (Figs. 4–6) showed the type of rock temper material present (quartzite, chert, sandstone and volcanic rock). In several samples rare to sparse presence of grog and/or clayey pellets are present. However, due to the small amount of such grains, it is impossible to determine with certainty whether they are deliberately added to the paste or are accidentally present. However, there are few, for now only macroscopic, indications that such grains appear more frequently in the ceramic structure of the Kisapostag culture pottery.
