Pottery in Archaeology
Pottery in Archaeology
Pottery is often the most common find on a site, and can provide the archaeologist with information on many aspects of the past, including chronology, trade, and technology.
Scientific developments and statistical techniques have contributed still further to the analysis of pottery in recent years.
Divided into three parts (history and potential; a guide to pottery processing and recording; themes in ceramic studies) this book details the routine tasks of handling pottery, and examines the most recent research into the quantitative study and comparison of ceramic assemblages.
