| Summary: | Since the existence of man on the face of the earth, there are many things that have occupied him and many problems that have been facing him, including: harsh natural conditions, broken monsters, and his desire to survive and prepare food. These factors and others were a motivation for the human being and a motivation for him to invent and invent multiple means over thousands of years that later became solid foundations for the present human civilization.
The Neolithic Age is considered a revolution in human life, as most of these methods were discovered in it, including: Pottery with the mediation of the wheel, which helped to make pottery vessels, which were used in various means, including: preserving food, cooking, storing grains, cooling water, or using it in religious rituals and gifts. Al-Dafafiyah because pottery vessels are lightweight and easy to manufacture when compared to the stone vessels that humans used in the beginning.
Pottery vessels varied and varied in shape, decoration, method of manufacture, and materials from different ages and factions, so pottery became an important evidence that takes among archaeologists to determine the archaeological sites and their times.
I am not extravagant if I say: that this industry has assumed a high position in the Islamic era, because the pride Muslims were not imitators but rather developers and innovators.
The Excavation and Archaeological Maintenance Authority of the University of Mosul has discovered the Bashtabiah site, a variety of forms of pottery vessels, such as jugs, large pillows, saucers and saddles.
Whereas the large ornate granules were the most important of the discovered types of their shape, precision of manufacture, selection of material, implementation of decoration, and the multiplicity of its forms. We have chosen it as a topic for our research in order to reveal an important aspect of this industry in the city of Mosul.
In addition to the clarity of the study, we decided to divide the research into several points that took the foundations of the research, namely: the material, the method of manufacture, the general shape, then the subject matter, in addition to an analytical study of the types of decorative elements and methods of their implementation. Finally, the discussion of the history of these grains to guide them to their approximate time. |
