This volume looks at the history of the Sevrier kiln, an artefact discovered in 1974 in Lake Annecy, considered in turn as one of the earliest Western pottery kilns, an enigmatic stove for domestic use, and a technological link in the Final Bronze Age which heralded the professionalisation of pottery, hitherto a purely domestic industry.
Le four de Sevrier, decouvert en 1974 sur un haut fond immerge du lac d’Annecy, est un objet phare de l’archeologie alpine. Pres d’une cinquantaine d’annees plus tard, il continue de se derober a l’interpretation des specialistes. Cette etude revient sur l’histoire d’un artefact considere tour a tour comme le princeps des fours de potier occidentaux, comme un enigmatique fourneau a usage domestique, comme un maillon technologique de l’age du bronze fi nal qui annoncerait la professionnalisation de la poterie, activite jusqu’alors familiale, saisonniere et autarcique. Ce nouveau regard sur cet objet de reference, prend la forme d’une enquete pluridisci-plinaire ou les volets archeometrique, ethnoarcheologique et experimental accueillent et passent au crible les hypotheses contradictoires, elargissent les problematique s et posent de nouvelles perspectives. Il interroge par le prisme de l’histoire des techniques, les infl exions dans l’organisation sociale des communautes de l’age du Bronze. Celles, en particulier, qui favoriseront, quelques siecles plus tard, l’avenement de proto artisans, specialises dans les activites de transformation de l’argile.

Jean Coulon, archaeologist, teacher, and artist, was born in Annecy in 1952 and is a member of the Laboratory of Prehistoric Archaeology and Anthropology of Geneva. The practical experience acquired during a long practice of ceramics led him naturally to take an interest in this famous discovery from the Alpine lake-dwellings.
