| Summary: | Spheroconical Vessels – a unique type of ceramic artifact whose purpose has been debated by scholars for many years. To resolve this issue, a number of scientists have analyzed the composition of spherocones. Analytical studies of spherocones began in the last quarter of the 19th century (by N. Maskelyne in 1871) and have been repeatedly conducted in the 20th and 21st centuries. Notable works include those by researchers such as I. Poslavsky, N. Vysotsky, E. Lenz, N. Brosсh, M. Cheken, V. Pozhidaev, and С.D. Matheson. Spherocones have been studied using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, petrographic analysis, and a range of other modern methods. Based on the obtained analytical data, researchers have proposed various interpretations regarding the functional purpose of spherocones. This article provides an overview of the results of scientific analyses of the contents of spheroconical vessels discovered at medieval archaeological sites. |
