We introduce here a new quantification proposal in protohistoric and classical pottery studies. The proposal also includes the way of representation of such analytics with the aim of making homogeneous diagnostic, analysis and publication models of any kind of ceramic material disregarding their nature. Therefore, it can be useful for either stratigraphy assemblages or particular series. This standard attempts to improve data interconnection between different areas, between different sites, so more solid and comparable values will be obtained at territorial level. At least, much better than the ones employed nowadays. Finally, using certain conventions in the pottery analysis will help us to build a high rank interpretative system, which may include aspects of commercial, social, cultural and, even, symbolic character.

In this paper, we present the incredible discovery of various wooden objects found during the excavations at the ancient Fábrica de Tabacos in Gijón that took place between 2007 and 2009. The objects were thrown into the water tank during the time of abandonment, dated from early 6th century ad. Among these were pieces of crockery, wooden containers, buckets, a chair and other objects such as well lintel. This study allows us to determine the function of unique pieces and the dating of each of the materials appeared by the radiocarbon method dating back to the early 6th century ad until the 10th century. This was an unusual undertaking for the Iberian Peninsula that succeeded thanks to the climate conditions of the region where the objects were found –such as the low ground water level– all of which allowed for an extraordinary preservation of these objects.

Tradicionalmente, en el noreste peninsular, la introducción de los primeros parámetros de influencia mediterránea en relación al consumo del vino, se han situado en la segunda mitad del siglo VI aC (copas jonias, kylix áticas, cerámica ática de figuras negras). No obstante, en el curso inferior del Ebro, la incidencia destacada del comercio fenicio conlleva una clara evolución del repertorio cerámico a lo largo de los siglos VII y VI aC, un hecho que permite evaluar la aparición de ciertas producciones de vajilla que evidencian la existencia de modificaciones importantes en el repertorio de instrumentos vinculados a las prácticas rituales de consumo comunitario. En el presente artículo se valora la adopción del oinochoe en relación a los primeros síntomas de renovación que experimenta el instrumental indígena asociado a la bebida. El objetivo es aproximarnos a una etapa de cambios sociales fundamentales durante la cual los aspectos ideológicos evidencian un aumento significativo de importancia.

The Spanish glass and ceramic industry reached in 2000 a record production value figure of 1.6 billion* pesetas (10.000 M euros), almost 1,5 % of the GDP, which places Spain after Italy as the UE country in which those sectors are the most important in terms of value of all the industrial activity. All together both sectors employ more than 110 000 in around 3 000 companies, with a distinct regional distribution according to sectors and specific products. Excellent raw materials, research and development network, skilled labour force, energetic efficiency, world-wide strong marketing policy and the drive of the internal demand, has turned the Spanish ceramic as a worldwide leading sector.La industria española de la cerámica y el vidrio alcanzó en el año 2000 un valor récord de la producción, con 10 000 Meuro (1,6 billones de ptas), casi el 1,5% del PIB. Esta cifra sitúa a España, junto con Italia, a la cabeza de los países de la UE por el peso que representan dichos sectores en el conjunto de la actividad industrial. Estas industrias dan empleo a más 110 000 personas, distribuidas en cerca de 3000 empresas y presentan una clara especialización regional en función de los diferentes sectores y productos. Excelentes materias primas, una amplia red de centros de investigación y desarrollo, personal experto, eficiencia energética, una poderosa política de ventas en todo el mundo y el empuje de la demanda interna ha convertido al sector cerámico español en un líder mundial.

The Turkish Ceramic Industry has developed a rapid growth, after industrialisation from early fifties. The influence of the public companies was at the beginning critical, but the privatisation process launched during the last years promotes changes to private companies decisions. Most relevant figures for production, foreign trade and employment for ceramic sectors like tiles, roof, refractories, tableware, electroporcelain and red building brick are showed. Trends and prospective for different sectors are very differents. Tile and roofing products show specially relevant figures. Today, Turkey with 250 million square meters tiles produced in 2000, is located in the third position among European countries. Sanitary ware production is also relevant and with 10 million pieces/year, Turkey leading European production. For refractories area, the excess in production capacity, nearly 60% reveals strong problems, in spite of some good basic raw materials. Tableware shows also critical prospective due to the East Asian low production costs. Electroceramics production shows a sustained development for conventional materials. Data for R&D institutions, professional and teaching ceramic network was also described.La industria cerámica turca ha experimentado un gran crecimiento, tras el período de reindustrialización que se inicia en todo el país a principio de los años 50. El peso de la empresa pública fue relevante en el surgimiento de la mayor parte de los sectores cerámicos. En los últimos años, los procesos de privatización y el cierre de algunas grandes factorías han hecho que predomine el sector privado. Se ofrecen las cifras más significativas de producción, empleo y comercio exterior de los sectores de pavimentos y revestimientos, sanitarios, vajilla, electrocerámica y refractarios. El crecimiento y las expectativas es muy diferenciado según los diferentes sectores. Los pavimentos y revestimientos se muestran especialmente dinámicos ocupando en la actualidad, con 230 millones de metros cuadrados, la 3º posición en Europa, tras Italia y España. En el sector de sanitarios, Turquía con más de 10 millones de piezas en 1999 lidera la producción europea. En cuanto a los refractarios, el exceso de capacidad de producción, 60%, plantea graves problemas a pesar de la importancia de algunas materias primas básicas. El sector de vajillas afronta una situación crítica. Los productos electrocerámicos muestran un desarrollo sostenido de en la mayor parte de los productos convencionales. Se describen asimismo los principales datos sobre la importante red asociativa de formación e investigación existente en el país.

The globalization of the present economic policy imposes the search of the excellence based on the competition. The same is associate to the economies of scale like effective alternative to reduce the operative costs and to the abolition of protectionisms, that in Argentina are rigorously fulfilled. The effects of the policy are made feel in the different areas from production of materials, that in agreement with the possibilities of each type of industry they look for to adapt itself. In this work is analyzed the situation of the ceramic industry on the basis of the index of evolution of the construction in the last years, since approximately the 90 - 95 % of the argentine ceramic production is linked to it. Also was used the information coming from the most excellent companies and of the associations that group them. In the case of the production of refractories and glasses, the originating information of the companies was only considered. The ceramic production was classified in agreement with the following submarkets: red ceramics, tableware, floors and coatings and sanitary ware. The analysis of the three mentioned industries includes the characterization of the present situation of each of them and allows to enhance the predominant tendencies in each case.La globalización de la política económica actual impone la búsqueda de la excelencia basada en la competitividad. La misma está asociada a las economías de escala como alternativa eficaz para reducir los costos operativos y a la abolición de proteccionismos, que en la Argentina se cumplen rigurosamente. Los efectos de la política se hacen sentir en las distintas áreas de producción de materiales, que de acuerdo con las posibilidades de cada tipo de industria buscan reacomodarse. En este trabajo se analiza la situación de la industria cerámica en base a los índices de evolución de la construcción en los últimos años, dado que aproximadamente el 90 - 95 % de la producción cerámica argentina está vinculada con ella. También se utilizó la información procedente de las empresas más relevantes y de las cámaras que las nuclean. En el caso de la producción de refractarios y vidrios, sólo se consideró la información proveniente de las empresas. La producción cerámica se clasificó de acuerdo con los siguientes submercados: cerámica roja, vajilla, pisos y revestimientos y artículos sanitarios. El análisis de las tres industrias citadas incluye la caracterización de la situación actual de cada una de ellas y permite vislumbrar las tendencias predominantes en cada caso.

El vidrio ha sido tratado a lo largo de la historia como un bien de prestigio, a pesar de presentarse de forma nativa en el medio natural. Es por ello que este trabajo se centra en exponer las características del vidrio, en general, y de los hallados en Begastri durante una intervención de urgencia, en particular.
