Time–temperature evolutions of different parts inside a pot were recorded during three experimental surface (bonfire) firings. The experimental vessels were shaped from a calcareous clay, tempered with 30% vol. of oolithic limestone. The temperature–time recording showed: (1) Tmax. was reached after 12–22 min and differed between the firings as well as inside individual...
