Ceramics of the Ottoman period from Ɖakovo (Croatia): classification, morphology, and technology

This dataset contains information on archaeological ceramics from Ɖakovo (Croatia), dated to the 17th century (Ottoman period). Ɖakovo is a town in Osijek-Baranja County of the Slavonia region (the geographical coordinates 45°18'36"N, 18°24'35"E). The ceramics presented in this dataset were found at two archaeological sites in Ɖakovo: Biskupija (ƉB in the dataset) and Spomen muzej biskupa J.J. Strossmayera (ƉS in the dataset). The study of these ceramics was conducted in November 2025 at the Archaeological Museum Osijek. The aim was to classify and quantify the ceramics as well as to identify their technological traits. The study integrated the macroscopic inspection and the microscopic recordings of fabrics. The data presented here offer the first insight into the ceramics of Ottoman-period Ɖakovo. The study of Ɖakovo’s ceramics is part of the DANUBE MSCA-PF project that addresses a regional-scale connectivity along the Danube, Sava, and Drava rivers during the Ottoman period (see also Živković, Bikić & Lučić 2026).
