Anotace: This backstory article discusses the work of the Tracing the Potter’s Wheel Project (TPW),

an integrated archaeological research project using the potter’s wheel as a prism through which to
investigate the transmission of craft knowledge in the Bronze Age Aegean. The TPW methodology
integrates theoretical perspectives on social interactions, technological processes and innovation, with
experimental, 3D digital and analytical methods for visualising and interpreting ceramics. Two central
goals have emerged: to provide high-quality resources and standardised guidelines for researchers to
learn how to technologically assess assemblages in their own research, and to broadly define the nature
of the uptake and use of the pottery wheel in the Aegean during the Late Bronze Age.
