Abstract

Pottery, which is made of fired clay, is the most frequently found cultural remains during archaeological researches. Technological Laboratory Analysis on pottery from sites along the Bengawan Solo (Solo River) in Bojonegoro aims at obtaining accurate results about the nature of the physical and chemical properties. Through the technological laboratory analysis can be described the quality of pottery made by craftsmen in the past. Based on the results of the analysis, pottery from the sites along the Bengawan Solo, Bojonegoro Regency, have moderate up to good qualities. The pottery belongs to a category of daily equipment that serves to store water, cook food and to serve food and drink. The rate of heat during firing was up to 600°-800° Celsius, and the color of pottery is predominantly dark colors (black colors) with only a few light colors (bright colors). The difference in the percentage of each chemical element in the pottery is due to the durability of the minerals to weathering. Tembikar merupakan salah satu sisa benda budaya yang paling sering ditemukan dalam penelitian arkeologi, yang terbuat dari tanah liat yang dibakar. Analisis teknologi laboratoris tembikar dari situs-situs di DAS Bengawan Solo Bojonegoro, bertujuan untuk memperoleh hasil yang akurat tentang sifat fisik dan sifat kimia. Melalui kajian analisis teknologi laboratoris dapat digambarkan kualitas tembikar yang dibuat oleh para pengrajin pada masa lampau. Berdasarkan hasil analisis teknologi laboratoris tembikar dari situs-situs DAS Bengawan Solo, Bojonegoro mempunyai kualitas sedang hingga kualitas baik. Tembikar-tembikar tersebut termasuk dalam kategori peralatan sehari-hari yang berfungsi untuk menampung air, mengolah makanan dan untuk penyajian makanan serta minuman. Tingkat pembakarannya mencapai 600°-800° Celcius, dan warna tembikar didominasi warna gelap (dark colors) dibanding dengan warna terang (light colors). Adanya perbedaan prosentase dari setiap unsur kimia pada tembikar tersebut, tidak terlepas dari daya tahan mineral terhadap pelapukan.
