| Summary: | Common ceramics are a particularly good point from which to approach a study of technology transfers in the Iron Age and Roman Era, for in this way it is possible to trace the introduction of new manufacturing procedures pertaining to a basic craft production sector with a certain degree of chronological precision. In southern Aquitaine, the use of a wheel, followed by firing in an oxidising atmosphere, represent two decisive steps in this technology. One of the first questions that presents itself is whether these developments can be linked to developments identified in other spheres of the societies concerned —contact with the Celtic and Roman worlds, urban mutation, transformation of the countryside, etc. A second question concerns the way in which such transfers actually came about. Comparisons with other, better-known areas of pottery production and the findings of «ethnoarchaeology» suggest that exogenous agents played an important part in these changes. |
