Pots and food: uses of pottery from Resnikov prekop

In this article, we discuss the role of pottery in food-related practices at the Resnikov prekop site on Ljubljansko barje (Ljubljana Marshes). We integrate chemical analyses of organic food residues with typological, technological and functional analyses of pottery. The vessels from Resnikov prekop reveal a broad range of sizes, forms and fabrics, as demonstrated by our analyses. The lipid residue analysis demonstrate that vessels from Resnikov prekop were mostly used for storing and serving different foods derived from terrestrial animals, mostly ruminants.V prispevku razpravljamo o vlogi lončenine pri praksah, povezanih s pripravo in uživanjem hrane na najdišču Resnikov prekop na Ljubljanskem barju. Integriramo kemične analize organskih ostankov v lončenini s tipološkimi, tehnološkimi in funkcionalnimi analizami lončenine. Posode iz Resnikovega prekopa kažejo veliko variabilnost glede na oblike, velikosti in tehnološke značilnosti, medtem ko analize lipidov kažejo, da so posode uporabljali za shranjevanje in serviranje različnih jedi, pripravljenih iz kopenskih živali, predvsem prežvekovalcev
