Research data: Continuity Amid Transformation: An Analysis of Pottery Production from the Late La Tène to Early Roman Periods in Eastern Bohemia
<p>Data used in the research presented in the article titled "Continuity Amid Transformation: An Analysis of Pottery Production from the Late La Tène to Early Roman Periods in Eastern Bohemia".</p> <p><strong>Abstract of the article:</strong></p> <p>At the end of the La Tène period and the beginning of the Roman period in the first century BC, society in Central Europe underwent a significant transformation, which included notable changes in pottery production. This transformation is often attributed to the collapse of the social structures of the La Tène period and the arrival of a new population. Pottery production, in particular, is generally considered to have undergone a complete transformation.</p> <p>However, previous studies on this transition have primarily focused on the stylistic analysis of shapes and decorations, as illustrated by the pottery assemblage from Slepotice (Eastern Bohemia). In order to obtain additional data on the transitional period, this study of pottery from Slepotice incorporates analyses of the materials used and the manufacturing process through macroscopic observation, X-ray fluorescence analysis, and thin-section analysis. These analyses provide new insights into the differences in pottery production and distribution during the first century BC.</p> <p>Our research indicates that while the transformation included the collapse of the La Tène socioeconomic network, it did not result in a complete break in the pottery production process.</p> <p>Link to the article: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2025.105073">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2025.105073</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>List of the files:</strong></p> <p>Supplementary Material 1<br>Settlement structure in the vicinity of Slepotice during the La Tène and Roman periods: 1 – Slepotice, 2 – České Lhotice, 3 – Brčekoly, 4 – Chrudim</p> <p>Supplementary Material 2<br>Values of pottery attributes (Mat, InMn, InVar, In, traces left from the shaping process, Po, Vy, and morphological groups) classified based on macroscopic observation</p> <p>Supplementary material 3<br>Schematic classification of rim attributes, illustrating different variants of rim direction (Op), thickening of the upper part of the rim (Oz), and trimming of the lip (Os)</p> <p>Supplementary material 4<br>Attributes of the 30 samples selected for XRF analysis based on macroscopic observation.

Roman pottery (Samian ware) and mould
I made this model after seeing Dani Wootton's excellent '5 Fascinating Finds' video on the Time Team channel https://youtu.be/m-Z1uM9DMRI This model illustrates Dani's description of how Roman pottery was mass produced using a mould with decorations pressed into the mould surface. Click on the annotations on the model for more information. In researching this model I visited the British Museum in London to get a closer look at the 'punches' that were used to create the decorative indentations in the mould surface. I felt sure the surface of the punch must be curved to follow the contour of the mould but wasn't sure if the curve was more pronounced so that the punch would be rocked back and forwards when being pressed into the clay. The example I saw at the British Museum (Ancient Rome room - display case 26 - see below) showed a punch with a figure on it and a slight convex curve which I think would have matched the surface of the mould.
