Black ceramics originates in Dacia, being of great importance in the pre-Roman period. In order to obtain it, the paste is subjected to an incomplete burn. The pots are burnt in a conoid shaped pit, up to 1.5 meters deep. Next to this pit there�s another one, linked by a small canal where the fire is burning. The pots are put in the first pit. When they are well heated and become red, they are covered with a thick layer of moist clay, also used to fill the small canal. Thus, the burning process continues without oxygen and the pots become grey or black. The black ceramics is still manufactured today in Romania and is also known as �Marginea pottery� (named after a village in the Suceava County). Red ceramics, obtained by burning it in an oxidizing system, [URL=http://www.]borrowed some elements from the Roman culture[/URL]. To obtain this color, the pots are dipped after drying off into a coloring substance obtained from a special clay (called �huma�) mixed with water. Then the pots are hand-painted. The red ceramics (enameled or not) can be found on 90% of the Romanian territory. [/QUOTE]Much too young to be a precursor for ancient Sudanese red topped pottery. [/QB][/QUOTE]
