Collaboration with the team of archaeologists of the Cathedral of Santa María in Vitoria

Knowledge of production techniques is essential in order to appropriately interpret the pottery remains found on a site. In the workshop of the Ollerías Museum we help archaeological analysts by conducting clay tests and using different procedures to interpret markings, faults and finishes related to pottery remains. In October and December, the Museum collaborated with the team of archaeologists of the Cathedral of Santa María in Vitoria-Gasteiz, under the leadership of doctor Agustín Azkarate. We provided information on markings, physical features of different clays and finishes. We also requested information on the periods when pottery remains similar to some of our Museum exhibits were used.
