摘要：The paper discusses aspects of cooking pottery technology and operation through observations
made in a series of experiments, utilizing the results of archaeological ceramic analysis in
Neolithic northern Greece. The first stage of experiments focused on the experimental
manufacture of three types of cooking pots, following the Neolithic techniques, from raw
material processing to firing. In the second stage the pots were used in cooking
performances, using structures, fuel and contents identified in the archaeological record. The
qualitative data generated allow for testing a series of archaeological assumptions on
ceramic technology, particularly vessel building and firing, along with the effects of cooking
on pots. Moreover, experimental cooking provided insight to the relations between the
different participant parts, highlighting the pivotal relation of cooking pots to fuel and
different cooking modes. This pilot study aspires to endorse ceramicists to refine protocols
for future experiments and analyses on cooking technologies.
