Abstract
Analyses of samples of pottery from the 7th and 8th millenium BC show that there is a relationship between the composition of the ceramics and the time of manufacture. The determination of density and porosity of the samples can provide information on the place of the ceramic object in the sequence of technological development in a certain area. -- AATA
