REFERAT ENGLEZA: SACEL POTTERY

Sacel Pottery As archaeological discoveries have shown, pottery used to be one of the ancient occupations of human beings. It appeared at the same time with the development of an economy based on cattle breeding and with the improvement of farming techniques (the beginning of the Neolithic, c. 9000 BC). Two millennia later, pottery was generalized, but the invention of the wheel is dated only c. 3700 BC. As a consequence of this revolutionary discovery a real industry of pottery sprang up, and the production of earthen pots became serialised due to the first "machine" invented by man - the potter`s wheel. There is no doubt that the native Dacian population had developed their own unmistakable style, the ceramic vessels being easily recognized due to their form, decoration, and colour. Perhaps the Roman technology was needed to bring this art of pottery to perfection. Two millennia later: Romania, Maramures. At Sacel, a settlement on the Iza Valley, red, unglazed ceramic objects are made in a rudimentary workshop set up in a peasant homestead. The earthen pots made by the craftsman preserve the Dacian technical and aesthetic characteristics and are burnt in a probably 300 year old Roman kiln, the last of its kind in the historical Land of Maramures. According to specialists, the pottery from Sacel "holds a unique place among the ceramics produced in different centres in our country" not only because the ceramics of red clay are burnt unglazed, but especially due to the techniques of decoration - polishing and painting. "What catches the eye is especially the technique that had been used in ancient times of history - the Dacian La Tene" (Florea Bobu Florescu, 1963). The painted ornaments consist of horizontal (rows) or wavy (serrated) lines, which sometimes form an acute angle. The ornaments are on the upper part of the pots, close to the meeting point with the handle (see Janeta Ciocan, 1980).
