Its buried lower chamber measures 3.10 by 2.40 meters, and the grate it carried, a floor of loose clay slabs on which vessels were stacked for firing, covered roughly 7.5 square meters (about 81 square feet), a number that means little until it is set beside the kilns of the places that ought to have outbuilt it.<\/p>\n<p>Cucuteni-Trypillia (Cucuteni in Romanian usage, Trypillia in Ukrainian) is a Copper Age farming culture, the Chalcolithic in technical terms, that spread across what is now eastern Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. Its best-known settlements are the megasites of central Ukraine, among them Maidanetske, Talianki and Nebelivka, each covering well over a hundred hectares and ranking among the largest settlements in Europe in the early fourth millennium BCE. The intuitive assumption is that production scales with population, so the biggest kilns ought to turn up in the biggest towns. Where published estimates exist, kilns at those megasites had working surfaces of 2 to 4 square meters, and the largest reported before now, at Stolniceni I, a megasite in Moldova, reached 4.6 to 4.8. Ursoaia covers almost 8 hectares, and its kiln is more than half again the size of the one at Stolniceni I.<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg\" data-component-name=\"Image2ToDOM\" class=\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img can-restack\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 1456w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"710\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/a9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:710,&quot;width&quot;:1280,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:124279,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.anthropology.net\/i\/216184005?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!6tSO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa9438cf2-dd16-47ba-b9ad-931397477344_1280x710.jpeg 1456w\" sizes=\"100vw\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"sizing-normal\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"image-caption\">The lower chamber of the kiln.

One of her coauthors, Felix-Adrian Tencariu of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Research at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Ia\u0219i, wrote the 2015 monograph (in Romanian) on prehistoric and protohistoric pottery-firing installations across Romania, so the verdict that this one is exceptional comes partly from someone who knows the ordinary ones well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A household firing its own cooking pots and storage jars would have little obvious use for an upper chamber of around 12 cubic meters, and less reason to keep patching such a structure through firing after firing. The size bears on an old argument in archaeology about craft specialization, the point at which making a thing becomes a particular person\u2019s or group\u2019s job, and about whether that shift waits on cities and states or can begin among village farmers. The authors conclude that production at Ursoaia \u201clikely moved beyond domestic requirements\u201d toward a more intensive model. They stop there, and say plainly that calling the site a community-level workshop would take evidence they do not yet have.<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg\" data-component-name=\"Image2ToDOM\" class=\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img can-restack\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 1456w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"574\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:574,&quot;width&quot;:1280,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:142663,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.anthropology.net\/i\/216184005?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!5F5f!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F77c9b6af-0f98-41af-bc7d-17f35641228f_1280x574.jpeg 1456w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" class=\"sizing-normal\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"image-caption\">General views and details of the kiln: A) grate slabs in situ; B &amp; C) collapsed slabs; D) lower chamber after slab removal; E &amp; F) cross-sections through channels and supports.
