One of the research topics dealt with at the Department of Archaeology is the study of pottery firing structures, especially of vertical two-chamber kilns of the La Tène period. We focus on the study of their chronological, geographical, constructional and technological aspects which we investigate on an European scale. We further study ceramic assemblages from fills of pottery kilns with accent on the identification of their relationships to the firing structures. At present, we own several reconstructions of various types of vertical two-chamber kilns which are used for experimental firing.
