Abstract
This study presents the preliminary results of the petrographic investigation of Neolithic pottery from Southwest Hungary, Vors. It forms part of a major project on pottery analysis of a multi-period archaeological site. The examined 17 samples analysed so far were chosen by macroscopic examination of fabric and form to represent the most important habitation period of the site, the Early Neolithic Starcevo Culture. Technological studies were based on thin section petrography (temper and paste analysis). In most cases (15 samples) organic material was used deliberately as temper. Other nonplastic inclusions detected involve mineral grains (monocrystalline quartz, feldspars, micas, opaque minerals and accessories) and rock fragments (polycrystalline quartz grains, microcrystalline quartz grains, argillaceous rock fragments, sandstone grains, mica-schist fragments, other metamorphic rock fragments and in one case volcanic rock fragments), clay pellets and in one, stratigraphically debatable case, grog fragments. On the basis of temper composition the pottery could be divided into four groups, each of which represents different pottery-making technology.
