| Summary: | [eng] This paper focuses on the reconstruction of pottery forming processes based on the analysis of the ceramic productions of the site of Genó (Lleida, Spain). It proposes an integrated analysis with the typological traits of the ceramic ware and the spatial distribution of the technological data at intra-site scale. The combined analysis between the types of vessels and the forming processes allowed us to assess in which ceramic products the technical actions varied according to the vessels' shapes and sizes. The spatial distribution of forming processes also enabled us to detect whether the households shared certain 'ways of doing' or, conversely, different technical practices coexisted in each house unit or in specific areas of the settlement. Bases on these results from Genó, a series of hypotheses and new questions are raised about the interactions and social organisation of the communities that inhabited this settlement during the Late Bronze Age. |
