To reconstruct ceramic production technology in the Zagros region and to specify the pattern of technological change, the macrostructures of 40 000 and microstructures of 4 000 pottery sherds from six village farming sites were investigated. Standards were used to model pottery-making processes as well as raw material properties and variability. Sequential slab construction was found to be a conservative production technology for chaff- or vegetal- tempered wares made from an unplastic, composite mixture of clay, chaff and water. This tradition persevered through the production of fine wares wherein grit temper replaced chaff, and the clay body was aged to become fully plastic. A measure of just how conservative this tradition was can be fo...
