Small Egyptian
Ancient Egyptian Pottery?
I'm almost done with a small project on Egyptian pottery. Does anyone have any usefull information? I'm in need of facts and information. Also maybe on other Egyptian inventions.
Regarding pottery:
Most of the pottery manufactured in Egypt was made of reddish brown clay, which was ubiquitous, (which means it was present everywhere) and is called Nile silt ware. It served everyday purposes and was often left undecorated. The red colour of the fired product was the result of iron compounds oxidizing. The whitish marl on the other hand, a mixture of clay and lime, was found only in a few locations in Upper Egypt, such as at Qena [5][6]. It required higher firing temperatures under better controlled conditions than other clays. For decorative purposes it was preferred to the common Nile silt.
