Etude Du Material De Hulbuk (Ma Wara'al-nahr-khuttal), De La Conquete Islamique Jusqu'au Milieu Du Xie Siecle (British Archaeological Reports British Series) M. Pierre Simeon

This study sets forth a typological classification of hitherto undocumented ceramic artefacts from the Hulbuk excavation site (south east of Tadjikistan, Kuliob district). The chronological period in question is rich in technical innovations and decorative creations. The ninth century saw the beginning of the development of glazed pottery. Under the Abbasids, considerable advances were made in science, in particular chemistry, and this led to the emergence of techniques, such as glaze, which modified the ceramic craft. French text.
