Many aspects can motivate the diffusion of ceramics, both in terms of the ‘ chaîne opératoire’ ; the complexity of the realisation, the time and energy invested in the making of the object ; but also by its use, ornamentation, form or content. However, new research on the raw materials used in the ceramics of the Armorican massif (western France) has demonstrated the distribution of specific types of pastes (the result of the alteration of the crystalline base) over distances superior to those observed for potteries shaped from common clay. These raw materials are characterised by their rarity and by the presence of mineral inclusions conferring particular physical and mechanical properties to the ceramics, such as better resistance to ther...
