Roads and RiveRs, pots and potteRs in pannonia - inteRactions, analogies and diffeRences

Abstract

There are many names in Croatian, German and English for class of pottery discussed in this volume. Generally accepted terms are: • Panonska keramika s premazom (PKP) • Pannonische Glanztonware (PGW) • Pannonian slipped ware (PSW) The PKP, PGW or PGW is a group of pottery widespread in Pannonia, but also in Noricum and Moesia, from the end of the 1st well into the 3rd century A.D and even later. The shapes of the vessels recall the forms of the Terra Sigillata, but some of them also show the influence of the local utility ware. The appearance of this group can be described as high quality pottery with a slip. It was produced in a reduced, oxidant and mixed atmosphere: as a result, there are black, grey, red, and orange vessels. In this book, authors were allowed to follow their thoughts and intuition to create the information about the Panno nian slipped ware in the region they work. The lack of publications, especially in Croatia, was the main problem in deve loping more uniform descriptions of types and features that form the PSW. We hope to create a fixed point from which a more comprehensive study can be made. We are grateful to all colleagues who submitted an article for this publication. This way, we have gathered some of the current knowledge on this topic, and we hope to continue our cooperation. We can say that this publication is a work of a small study group dedicated to one topic. In the meantime, by May 13, 2022, an important article about Pannonische Glanztonware that was published on the website of Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Mainz (RGZM) “disappeared” from the Internet. RGZM is developing a new modern website. Hopefully, the paper will appear again on the new RGZM site.
