Ceramics. Multifunctional
objects and elements of study
The production of ceramics has been one
of the most significant cultural factors throughout history.
Changes in their shapes, decoration and finishing respond
to the different functions of the pieces (daily use, storage,
tableware, funerary furnishings, etc.) and their location
(inside a room, as fragmented remains, or inside a tomb, etc.)
give us some insight into the chronological and cultural evolution
of the civilisations which produced them.
