The aim of this paper is to describe two craft activities, traditional hide working and pottery, observed during an ethnographic expedition in the Semen Omo Zone region of South Ethiopia (in particular in the “Wolaita”) undertaken by one of the authors (G.F.). The possible archaeological implications of the operation sequences will be investigated in an effort to recognize the elements of the living context which are potentially identifiable in a “static” archaeological context.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe two craft activities, traditional hide working and pottery, observed during an ethnographic expedition in the Semen Omo Zone region of South Ethiopia (in particular in the “Wolaita”) undertaken by one of the authors (G.F.). The possible archaeological implications of the operation sequences will be investigated in an effort to recognize the elements of the living context which are potentially identifiable in a “static” archaeological context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
