On the Analysis and Interpretation of Pottery Production and Distribution
Ceramics are particularly well suited for investigating general patterns of
the distribution of premodern products. Archaeometric methods, used to
determine raw materials and production techniques, permit the identification
of places of production. The work of the research group presented here pursues
two objectives: (i) to investigate the usefulness of portable X-ray
fluorescence equipment for the analysis of ceramics and (ii) to identify,
interpret and study distribution areas of ceramic products in comparative
prospective. The paper discusses key economic concepts, sets out the
archaeometric methodology and presents initial results in the context of two
examples
Using pXRF for the Analysis of Ancient Pottery
The aim of the secound workshop on the use of portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) organized by the Cluster of Excellence TOPOI was to exchange experiences and discuss the basic requirements for the use of pXRF as a tool for chemical analysis of archaeological ceramics. During two days, 49 participants from eight European countries discussed nineteen lectures, twelve of which are published here as papers presenting research on ceramics and glass of various periods from Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Rumania, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria and the United Kingdom. The focus was on analysing bulk pottery and on the possibilities of non-destructive determination of chemical composition. The number of chemical elements significant for provenance studies and determinable with sucient precision and accuracy plays a major role. This was compared with chemical analysis using WDXRF, ICP-MS, NAA. The different examples prove that the chances of positive outcomes depend very much on the individual cases
PRÓBKI CERAMIKI Z WYKOPALISK W ABU ERTEILA (SUDAN) – KORELACJA MAKROSKOPOWO ZIDENTYFIKOWANYCH TWORZYW CERAMICZNYCH Z LABORATORYJNIE OKREŚLONYMI GRUPAMI SUROWCOWYMI
This article reports on the use of laboratory analysis to examine whether pottery recovered from excavations at Abu Erteila includes wares made at the same workshops as pottery found at other Meroitic sites in the region. It also examines whether wares deemed typical of the Abu Erteila ceramic assemblage were made of the same raw materials as pottery at neighbouring sites or clay used at other workshops. Particular attention was paid to assessing whether samples with fabrics which macroscopically resemble the Musawwarat fabrics were indeed made at workshops in Musawwarat or whether this macroscopic similarity is deceptive.

Poetovian wasters from Spodnja Hajdina near Ptuj
Na Spodnji Hajdini pri Ptuju so pri gradbenih delih na površinipribližno enega kvadratnega metra našli petindvajset oljenk,pet gubank, šest čaš z ročajem, velik vrč in spodnji del posode.Po analogijah jih datiramo v 2. do 3. stoletje. Večina med nji-mi predstavlja očitno neuspele izdelke, poškodovane zaradi žganjana previsoki temperaturi. V neposredni bližini je bila izkopa-na lončarska peč, ki skupaj z v članku obravnavnimi pones-rečenimi izdelki kaže, da je tu delovala lončarska delavnicaDuring construction work at Spodnja Hajdina, near Ptuj,twenty-five oil lamps, five indented beakers, six cups with ahandle, a large flagon and the bottom of a vessel, dating to the2nd and 3rd centuries, were discovered within an area of ap-proximately one square metre. The majority were clearly wast-ers, damaged due to over-firing. A pottery kiln was excavatedin the immediate vicinity. This, together with the wasters dis-cussed below, suggest a pottery workshop

Ceramic building material from the Roman forts on the Colchis coast: archaeology and archaeoceramological analysis
The article collects the modest information on the use (and
possible production) of ceramic building material by the Roman army in
Colchis, using it as a backdrop for presenting the exceptional richness, in
quantity as much as diversity, of finds from Gonio/Apsaros. They are made
even more exceptional by the signatures found on these products. The article
presents documented examples of stamps on bricks, roof tiles and ceramic
pipes from the fort and links them with construction project of specific Roman
army units in the Cappadocia province. The results of laboratory tests
conducted on samples of ceramic products and raw clay from Gonio,
presented in Part 2, are an important element of the presented analysis.
Based on these results, it has been possible to distinguish two reference
groups for the production of which clay from near the fort was used.
However, it has not been possible to indicate the specific deposits of such
raw material used by the Roman army.Oskar Kubra
Budowanie więzi z dzieckiem w okresie życia prenatalnego i po porodzie przez matki przebywające w wybranych zakładach karnych w Polsce
Wstęp. Zbudowanie więzi między matką a dzieckiem w okresie ciąży i po porodzie jest podstawą do stworzenia jego prawidłowych relacji w przyszłości.Cel pracy. Ocena natężenia więzi między kobietami a ich dziećmi w okresie ciąży, porównując kobiety ciężarne i matki po porodzie, które nie odbywały wyroku, z tymi, które przebywały w ciąży bądź po porodzie w zakładach karnych. Badania przeprowadzono w celu zaobserwowania, czy środowisko więzienne ma wpływ na proces tworzącej się więzi.Materiał i metody. Do przeprowadzenia badań zastosowano ankietę własnego autorstwa oraz standaryzowany kwestionariusz diagnostyczny „Więź z dzieckiem w okresie ciąży” Cranley w opracowaniu Bielawskiej-Batorowicz. Badaniu poddano dwie główne grupy kobiet: więźniarki (50 ankietowanych) oraz kobiety przebywające na wolności (104 ankietowane). Wśród nich przebadano zarówno kobiety ciężarne, jak i kobiety po porodzie.Wyniki i wnioski. Poziom więzi między matką a dzieckiem osiągnął wysokie wartości wśród wszystkich przebadanych grup kobiet. Może to wynikać z faktu, że głównym priorytetem stawianym przez pracowników więziennych placówek jest zapewnianie dziecku bezpieczeństwa i poczucia normalności. Z przeprowadzonych badań wyciągnięto wniosek mówiący o braku wpływu środowiska więziennego na proces tworzenia się więzi między matką a dzieckiem w okresie ciąży. Więźniarki rzadziej komunikowały się z dzieckiem, jednak ich natężenie więzi osiągnęło nieco wyższy poziom niż u kobiet przebywających na wolności. Jednakże zarówno u więźniarek, jak i kobiet przebywających na wolności więź między matką a dzieckiem w okresie ciąży osiągnęła wysokie wartości
