Pottery Production in Egypt: the chaîne opératoire as a Heuristic Tool

The main steps in the production of pottery are well known and are often similar across much of the world. However, the loci of production where such steps took place, namely the workshops/workspaces, have traditionally attracted less attention from Egyptologists than have the major religious and f...
