Badania mineralogiczne ceramiki grafitowej (?), przykład – stanowisko dolinne w Thunau am Kamp, Dolna Austria
(2017) Pawlikowski, Maciej ; Karwowski, Maciej
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań mineralogicznych i petrograficznych ceramiki grafitowej. Wykonano badania próbek ceramiki kultury lateńskiej pochodzących ze stanowiska dolinnego w Thunau am Kamp w Dolnej Austrii. Oprócz badań grafitu (?) z ceramiki archeologicznej wykonano badania węgli kamiennych wieku karbońskiego jako potencjalnego dodatku do mas garncarskich kultury lateńskiej. Wykonano także badania grafitów z czeskiego złoża w Czeskim Krumlovie. Przeprowadzono także badania współczesnych mas garncarskich wykonanych z dodatkami węgla, które to masy wypalono w 750oC zarówno w utleniającej jak i redukcyjnej atmosferze. W badaniach stosowano metody mikroskopii stereoskopowej, polaryzacyjnej jak też mikroskopii ramanowskiej.

Mineralogical and geological investigation of Heraconpolis archaeological site, Upper Egypt
(2008) Pawlikowski, Maciej ; Such, Joanna
The investigation of geology, stone implements and pottery presented below was performed in 2004 during works conducted by mixed american-egyptian mission at Heraconpolis archaeological site. The geological examination documents that the site was located on a dry, big delta of big wadi, coming from west into Nile Valley. This location means that while the site was functioning at phases Nagada II and III mentioned wadi did not conduct water i.e. climate was very dry. The investigation of present geological phenomena shows continuous growth of salinity of the soils at tested area. The investigation of stone implements discovered at two examined archaeological trenches confirmed the presence of various rocks, chipped flint implements as well as grinders. These objects were discovered at two depths representing various archaeological layers. Examination of pottery showed advanced technologies of preparation of ceramic mass as well as technology of firing. Data obtained from computer analyses confirm differentiation of tested ceramic masses.

Ośrodek Tradycji Garncarstwa w Chałupkach (Góry Świętokrzyskie) jako obiekt geoturystyczny
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Fijałkowska-Mader, Anna; Pabian, Grzegorz; Król, Paweł
It is highly probable that the rural pottery center in the area of today's Chałupki (Morawica commune) is one of the oldest in the Świętokrzyskie region, as it was already functioning in Roman times (II in A.D.). The period of its glory falls during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the interwar period, it held almost 70 workshops, and this number gradually decreased until 1993, when the last workshop of Stefan Sowiński was closed. The basis for the establishment of pottery came from the local karstic Neogene clays, occurring within karst funnels developed in the Upper Jurassic limestones. The clays were obtained by shafts in the area of approx. 8.6 km$^{2}$, covering the village of Chałupki and extending to the south of it. The production process of the ceramics was multi-stage. It included the preparation of clay, the so-called »healing«, forming dishes on a potter's toast, drying, glazing and baking in ovens. The range of ceramic products has been enriched over time. Next to utility vessels, toys appeared, mainly whistles, as well as bowls and statuettes of saints. Earthenware from Chałupki was used not only by the local population, but also in the entire Świętokrzyskie region, and even outside its borders. Over time, its role changed from purely useful to decorative. Since 1998, the Center of Pottery Tradition has been operating in Chałupki, which is both a museum and an educational object. Every year, in July, the center hosts the ethnographic festival »Chałupkowe Potions«. The Pottery Tradition Center in Chałupki is frequented by tourists, both individual and organized groups, as well as school trips. It is a geotouristic object promoting the cultural heritage of Chałupki.
