Sharing technologies and workspaces for ceramic and vitrified material production at Tell Atchana-Alalakh

Abstract

Scientific and archaeological research on pyrotechnical installations of the Late Bronze Age at Tell Atchana/Alalakh provide new opportunities to observe intercultural and intertechnical connections between Anatolia, the Levant, Egypt, and the Aegean. Each region harmonized and adopted various cultural elements in producing ceramics and vitrified materials. lb IIa Alalakh offers an area of multi-functioning pyrotechnical installations and shared technological skills between ceramic and vitrified material productions that help us to give voice to possible linkages among different crafts.
