The Evil Twin: Older Bronze Age Ceramic Typology of the Nordic Circle.

The article "The Evil Twin: Older Bronze Age Ceramic Typology of the Nordic Circle" examines the older Bronze Age ceramics of the Nordic Circle. The study uses a classical typology and multivariate statistical analysis to categorize the ceramics. Ten vessel categories are identified, which can be further divided into different types and variants. The study demonstrates how ceramic production evolved in terms of diversity of forms, variation in sizes, and expression throughout the Older Bronze Age. Connections are also made between this increasing complexity and the changes in burial customs around 1300 BC. Therefore, the study provides important insights into the older Bronze Age ceramics of the Nordic Circle. [Extracted from the article]
