Abstract

This paper aims to present the data obtained by the Spanish archaeological project “Thutmosis III Temple Project” during four ethnoarchaeological research seasons devoted to the study of potter workshops from Luxor and its surrounding areas. An analysis focused on technical perspectives was developed, which ultimately allowed to understand the social complexity that currently lies within what is officially labelled as Egyptian community, while reinforcing the view of ceramics as containers full of social and symbolical meaning.
