A workshop in the ground

METU’s project records amphorae and everyday coarse ware made near Reşadiye. Excavations uncovered large kilns, water tanks and production waste together. These traces reveal a manufacturing process beyond the finished pot.

Reading before the visit

The rescue excavation report is available on the project page. These are archaeological production sites, distinct from a contemporary pottery studio. Ask the tourism office about any present access.
