Utilisation de mousse comme dégraissant dans des céramiques néolithiques de France et de Belgique

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: A plant temper commonly used in France and Belgium in the Epi-Rössen and Michelsberg cultures has been identified. This is a mixture of moss mainly composed of Neckera crispa Hedw. Its experimental use has confirmed observations made on archaeological finds. The sequence of successive cultures using this temper, often in association with another temper consisting of fire-splintered flint, is discussed. The article provides an opportunity to underline the cultural significance of tempering materials in general.
