U savremenojnauci je zato ključno angažovanje stručnjaka izrazličitih oblasti nauke, pre svega prirodnih nauka, hemije,fizike, geologije, tehnologije i drugih. U našoj arheologijigotovo da i nema ovakvih interdisciplinarnihistraživanja. Zato se sadržaj projekta “Eksperimentalnaarheologija - Tradicionalne proizvodnje keramike” poklapasa ciljevima arheoloških istraživanja.Da bi se odgovorilo na sva pomenuta pitanja, osnovnopolazište je svakako utvrđivanje prirode osnovne sirovinei primesa u glini, kao i tehnologija izrade keramičkihposuda. Sa obzirom na to da su u toku sistematskaiskopavanja na Vinči kod Beograda, najznačajnijemnalazištu mlađeneolitske Vinčanske kulture, akcenat jestavljen na keramiku najmlađe faze ove kulture, faze Vinča-Pločnik.Izdvojeno je ukupno 13 uzoraka posuda tipičnihza ovu fazu: 3 fragmenta oboda zdela sa uvučenimobodom, 1 fragment konične zdele, 5 fragmenataoboda i vrata amfora, 2 fragmenta lonaca i 2 fragmentađuveča. Na ovim uzorcima su izvršene mineraloške, hemijskei fizičke analize.126B - Identifikacija majdana - geološkiaspekt istraživanjaU okviru istražnih radova na rekonstrukciji proizvodnjekeramike Vinčanske neolitske kulture, obavljenasu i geološka istraživanja sa ciljem da se pronađe sirovinskimaterijal, koji su koristile neolitske zanatlije.Pri izboru lokacija nad kojima će se obaviti istraživanjapošlo se od pretpostavke da su stara ležišta kerariodizationof certain prehistorical cultures, based onstylistic properties, first of all decoration style, and secondly– supposed evolution of a form. Nevertheless, theprimary task of archaeologist is to reconstruct everydaylife of a community in the past. That is why ceramics researchshould be far larger. Ceramics is related to manyaspects of everyday life. Investigation of acquisitionstrategy of basic raw materials, as well as of ingredientsto be added to clay, technology of production, forming ofa vessel, drying and firing, final treatment and decoration,mode of use, causes of breakage and replacementof damaged vessels by new ones, as well as modes of rejectingand possible secondary use of well-preservedvessels and fragments, can explain many issues, first ofall the question of social organisation, organisation of asettlement and function of each object in it, but alsospecialisation in crafts, trade, even religious attitude.For this reason, participation of experts of various profiles,especially chemists, physicist, geologists, technologistsand others is needed. In our archaeology, this kindof interdisciplinary research is very rare.That is why theprogram of the “Experimental Archaeology – TraditionalProduction of Ceramics” project is in accordancewith general archaeological research objectives.In order to answer all the questions mentioned above,starting point should be determination of basic rawmaterial and additional ingredients in the clay, as wellas the ceramic vessels production technology. Having inmind that the excavations on Vinča site, the most significantsite of Late Neolithic Vinča culture, are in progress,the accent is given to the ceramics of this culture’smost recent phase, the Vinča-Pločnik phase. The total of13 samples has been selected, typical of this phase: 3fragments of rims belonging to vessels with invertedrims, 1 fragment of conical vessel, 5 fragments of rimsand necks of amphorae, 2 fragments of pots and 2 fragmentsof pans. These samples went through mineralogical,chemical and physical analyses.B – Identification of mine – Geological aspectof researchWithin research related to reconstruction of VinčaNeolithic ceramics production, geological research wasalso carried out, in order to find raw material used byNeolithic craftsmen.In selecting location for this part of research, it wasassumed that the old deposits of ceramic raw materialsare situated relatively close to the Neolithic settlementof Vinča. Also, it was necessary to determine the materialand geological formations that could have successfullyserved in production of ceramics.The settlement is geographically situated above theright bank of Danube, in north-eastern edge of Belgradecape, or to be precise, part of the field where hills ofŠumadija, between the river Sava and the Danube, runsnorth, into the wide area of Pannonia lowlands.The settlement itself lies on a plateau, formed by socalled“loess slope”This implies that Neolithic settlers ofVinča used loess from the right bank of the Danube asraw material in production of ceramics. During this research,loess sediments from opened segments under archaeologicalsites were examined, but also from ditchesused for brick raw material of the “Ciglar” brick plant (property of the “Iskra” corporation from Belgrade) inthe village of Vinča. Nevertheless, taking into accountthe fact that the Danube undermines the bank close tothis archaeological site, provoking erosion of Quartarloess deposits and Miocene sediments from loess, we canconclude that the old Neolithic clay pit in loess was de-
