Abstract
An report on this year's "Europa Postmediaevalis 2024: Patterns & Inspirations" conference on post-medieval and modern ceramics, held in Warsaw in April 2024. The conference was the fourth in a series of meetings organised in various European countries in the last six years under the common title Europa Postmediaevalis (2018 in Prague, 2020 – cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 in Coimbra), on the initiative of the international association ‘Europa Postmediaevalis Research Group’ (see: https://www.europapostmed.eu/en/).

EUROPA POSTMEDIAEVALIS 2018: Post-medieval pottery between (its) borders, 2019
This anthology is a collection of works from the EUROPA POSTMEDIAEVALIS conference held in Prague in the spring of 2018. As the name of the conference suggests, the subject of interest is the Early Modern period (15th to 18th century) and the manner in which this relatively young discipline in the field of archaeology is approached in Europe. The first year of the conference set the goal of searching for topics in post-medieval archaeology that reflect their current situation while simultaneously addressing a broader group of scholars. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the central theme pursued by generations across Europe proved to be Early Modern ceramics, the large assemblages of which are for many of us the bread and butter of our daily lives – a delight and often a headache resulting from their further processing. Since this issue is the one perceived most acutely here in the Czech Republic, we decided to share our current quandaries in this field with both our domestic and foreign colleagues. The long-term objective of the conference is to create a professional platform with a uniform communication language (English) and a biennial periodicity allowing us to meet regularly to exchange experience gained in our study and work in post-medieval archaeology. The articles published in this anthology reflect the current state of research of Early Modern pottery in individual European countries (the Czech Republic, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Switzerland), including both successes and possible shortcomings. The individual studies should serve as impulses for further study, ideas for thought and discussion and, last but not least, as study material for those who come into contact with Early Modern material culture as part of their work.

The reviewed publication, published in 2019, is a collection of texts based on papers and posters presented at the international conference under the same title held in Prague in April 2018. The contributors focus on the most common items found at archaeological sites of the period, i.e., ceramics, particularly vessels and tiles. The work under discussion demonstrates how heterogeneous these finds are, how many unanswered questions they provoke, especially regarding their production, exploitation, and trade, and at the same time what progress has been made in these fields of research, but also what remains unclear and in need of further studies.
EUROPA POSTMEDIAEVALIS 2020: Post-medieval pottery in the spare time
EUROPA POSTMEDIAEVALIS 2020: Post-medieval pottery in the spare time, 2021
This anthology is a collection of articles from a conference EUROPA POSTMEDIAEVALIS 2020 “Post-medieval Pottery in the Spare Time”, a conference that could not be held. The subject of interest is ceramics from the Modern period (from the 15th to 19th centuries) in the context of spare time activities. The articles for the anthology were written at the time the COVID-19 pandemic hit the entire world. Which was why we were all the more delighted that the authors, despite the prevailing uncertainty, took up the proposed topics. Thanks to their efforts it was possible to compile this anthology. Finally, a total of four “leisure” topics were defined. As expected, the topic “Little big vices – tobacco smoking and drinking and carousing” drew the greatest interest. Pipes, in particular, have become a very popular research topic in recent decades. Another attractive subject “Hidden garden treasures – flowerpots and other garden ceramics” brings a new light into previously neglected issues. The “Toys and joys – ceramic toys and spare time items” topic generated comparable interest among researchers. Readers may acquaint themselves with games and types of children’s toys documented archaeologically. The last part of the book named “Last but not least” supplements the anthology with a total of five studies approaching selected, current topics. The resulting 28 articles were written by authors from nine countries (the Czech Republic, Croatia, Italy, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine). They represent known and unknown aspects of contemporary pottery (including an assemblage the United Arab Emirates) with regard to leisure activities

This article analyses imported pieces or, rather, fragments of ceramics found at the castles of Lietava and Strečno in Northwest Slovakia. These strongholds had been the seats of the richest and most prominent rulers and dynasties in the Hungarian Empire in the Middle Ages and thereafter. The artefacts can be divided into two main categories: Central European stoneware and Mediterranean maiolica. The primary goal of my article is to identify the origin and describe the production process along with the historical and cultural context of the pieces. In some cases, I used written sources to trace the likely owners of these imports.

Traditional Pottery and Everyday Lifestyle in 21st Century Europe. In: Ceramics between Change and Challenge, between Past and Present. From Baroque until Today, Museum of Applied Art, Belgrade 2016, 118-125
Traditional pottery making was very present in the European everyday lifestile until the mid- 20th century. After the WWII, the industrial production of metal and plastic kitchen wares reduce the demand for pottery. The end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st c. faced the difficult legacy of the several decades of uncontrolled industrialization and seriously threatened ecosystem on the Planet, including in Europe. The result was raising of awareness that humanity must return to nature, so the renewed interest in ceramics has renewed the place of the pottery in the modern lifestyle.

Current State of Knowledge of the Development of Early Modern Ceramics in the Czech Republic
Archaeologia Polona 59, 2021
This study is an overview of the professional interest in archaeology of the modern age in the Czech Republic. Increased interest in the archaeology of the Modern period came after the year 2000. The number of published Early Modern pottery assemblages has increased significantly over the past decade. Recent years have seen a change in the publication strategy of Modern period assemblages. As such, the large Modern period find inventory is forcing archaeology to make a critical selection of assemblages which will subsequently be the subject of detailed processing and evaluation. The most important selection criteria include the complexity of the find situation, the possibility of placing it into the social context or the actual expansion of knowledge of period material culture.
Medieval white fine-grained kaolinitic ceramics in the Czech lands in finds from Pilsen and České Budějovice
Archaeologia Historica, 2021
In Czech and Central European archaeological literature, miniature vessels made of whitish, fine-grained clay and sometimes decorated with red paint and lead glaze have long been of interest. They are considered imports, the provenance of which is assumed to be west of our borders. They are found abundantly in medieval towns, rural households, aristocratic residences, and monasteries during the 13th and 14th centuries, mostly as solitary finds. Discussions are also taking place concerning their functions. They are thought to have served as vessels for spices, ointments, fragrant essences, or mostly as children's toys, as they often appear in ceramic assemblages together with small ceramic figures. The specific group of this ceramic ware is referred to as weiße feine Irdenware in German literature, and is characterized by the high content of kaolin or kaolinitic clays in the ceramic mass, traces of wheel throwing and high firing temperatures in the oxidizing atmosphere. The aim of the paper is to analyse the vessels' technology and morphology and solve the issues of their provenance, dating, and function. The aim is also to explain the possible ways in which these vessels made their way into a range of urban, aristocratic, and rural households. Special attention in two case studies is focused on white ceramics from Pilsen and České Budějovice, which has not yet been evaluated in the literature; this includes a petrographic analysis, which indicates a different origin of these products.
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference "Archaeometallurgy in Europe"

The conference at Miskolc was the fifth of a series that begun in Milan in 2003, followed in 2007 by the conference in Aquileia, both in Italy. The third was held at Bochum, in Germany, in 2011 and the fourth at Madrid, Spain, in 2015. The special aim of our 2019 conference was that of emphasizing and strengthening the interdisciplinary character and the various activities in the field of archaeometallurgy and widening the focus towards Eastern Europe.
The archival evidence as a source on the life-cycles of ceramic objects: snapshots from documents on Venetian Crete (in collaboration with Angeliki Panopoulou), in: XIIIth Congress AIECM3 on Medieval and Modern Period Mediterranean Ceramics, Granada, 8 to 13 November 2021 (poster presentation)
2021
Ongoing research being undertaken at the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation intends to record and study the evidence of the material culture of Crete, an area that flourished during the pre-industrial era, when it was under Venetian rule (13th-17th centuries), as encountered through the related archival evidence. At that period the island was open to the influences of the western culture and especially of the currents of the Italian Renaissance, which fact resulted in the flourishing of the cultural and economic-social sectors, primarily in the cities. From the rich archival material, unpublished as well as published – namely the inventories of the interiors of the houses, workshops and monasteries, the dowry agreements and the wills – comes information specifically on the objects of domestic, handicraft and agricultural use and the relevant tools. Although this approach reveals a wealth of evidence, details on ceramics, as it will be shown, are actually rather limited. The poster focuses on the testimonies regarding the various clay objects. Reference is made as to the circumstances under which clay vessels are encountered in the written sources, as well as to the categories of ceramics mentioned and to specificities concerning details of their manufacture, decoration and origin. In addition, attempts are made to link – whenever possible – particular references to particular objects, as known from the archaeological record. Given the nature of the archival sources, these data are, obviously, also linked to individual persons and places, leading to further revelations not only on specific aspects of the ceramics’ life-cycle but also on the participation of the clay objects in the formation of social relations and on the identities of people of the time.

The Dawn of Ceramics
The paper discusses the ceramic technologies and social practices in hunter-gatherer and farmer communities in Eurasia. Ceramic technology had become the agency of hunter-gatherers long before food production was developed and farming villages appeared. Fired clay was a medium for artefact manufacture and manipulation in the sense of active interference in human life that clearly depended upon the capability of transmitting or having access to this know-how, which obviously predates the transition to farming. Ceramics were embedded in hunter-gatherers’ trajectories and social networks and represent as well as a continuum of traditions, symbolic systems and beliefs.
