The study of the handicraft activity of a Tigre potter in the village of Afta, in the Foro-Wi’a subregion, contributed to register and to report a case of in danger tradi-tion: low-firing pottery manufacturing activities that have never been recorded in detail in this region. The case study is examined in the general context of geograph-ical distributions of traditional pottery manufacturing and related traditions – such as food cuisine – in the Northern Horn of Africa, and in relation with past practices, with the aim also to identify continuity and change and to provide new insights for archaeologists.

The study of the handicraft activity of a Tigre potter in the village of Afta, in the Foro-Wi’a subregion, contributed to register and to report a case of in danger tradi-tion: low-firing pottery manufacturing activities that have never been recorded in detail in this region. The case study is examined in the general context of geograph-ical distributions of traditional pottery manufacturing and related traditions – such as food cuisine – in the Northern Horn of Africa, and in relation with past practices, with the aim also to identify continuity and change and to provide new insights for archaeologists.File in questo prodotto:
