Inca Pottery Replication

Imperial Inca pottery was an important symbolic marker to elites and commoners across the Andes beginning in the 1400s. It was known for the standardized forms, the richness of the color palette, perfection in execution of design motifs, and thoroughness of its firing method. After the Spanish Conquest of the 1530s, production of this highly prized pottery style ceased. No one since has been able to copy the skill or technology developed by these clay experts. Join us at the Archaeology Center as we use clay imported from an Inca pottery production site of Choquepukio in Cuzco, Peru and Inca potsherds from that same site to retrace the steps of imperial artists of the ancient Andes.


Using fuels that were available during the Inca period, all pots will be fired in a bonfire at the Gym dig site on Friday, Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting) and removed at 5:00 p.m. (or before dark).
