Pottery Analysis (Other Keyword)
1-13 (13 Records)
Our study of precontact Aboriginal pottery from Western Canada involves morphological, use-alteration and stylistic analyses of individual vessels and the creation of precise three-dimensional vessel models using computer-assisted design (CAD) software that is free-of-charge to students and educators. "Whole vessel" morphological analysis is then performed on the models using the CAD program. Manuals on how to generate and analyze accurate CAD models of whole or partially reconstructed vessels...

Learning Landscapes within an Ancestral Wendat Village (2015)
This paper concerns my proposed doctoral research that focuses on learning environments within Ancestral Wendat potting communities, more specifically, the 15th Century AD Keffer village. My theoretical perspective is grounded in a framework of apprenticeship, and experiential philosophy that emphasizes the experience and interaction of an individual within the material world, interwoven with both social and body memory. My methodological approach consists of micro-variation analysis to identify...
Mortuary Practices, Production and Exchanges in the Borderland: A Case Study from the Bukhara Oasis (Uzbekistan) (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper investigates potteries excavated from the Late Iron Age kurgan burials (i.e., burials with an aboveground mound) at the fringes of the Bukhara oasis in present-day central Uzbekistan. Connecting the intensively farmed river oasis and the desert steppe, the border of Bukhara oasis as a frontier zone was also an arena in which complex social and...
On the Verge: A Pottery Analysis of the Northern Periphery of the Northern San Juan Region (2017)
Beef Basin is a geographic area located roughly 30 miles northwest of the Abajo Mountains in southeastern Utah. Archaeologically, Beef Basin is within the Northern San Juan Region, which has seen much recent and intensive study. Most of this research has focused on the area south of the Abajo Mountains, however, leaving the northern areas, including Beef Basin, only marginally studied. I discuss the results of pottery analyses from the area and discuss recent reconnaissance survey conducted by...
Phase II Data Recovery at Pozos de Sonoqui / AZ U:14:49 (ASM) within the Proposed Alignment in Queen Creek, Maricopa County, Arizona (2015)
This report documents Phase II data recovery at a portion of the project site performed by archaeologists from Jacobs Engineering (Jacobs) in Phoenix, Arizona. Under contract with Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT), archaeologists from Jacobs conducted data recovery at the site from January 8, 2013, through May 1, 2013. The Phase II data recovery resulted in the discovery of 104 features and excavation of 85 features, along with the recovery of thousands of artifacts.
PLAIN AND INTERESTING: AN EVALUATION AND REDEFINING OF NON-DECORATED POTTERY FROM NUVAKWEWTAQA, CHAVEZ PASS, CENTRAL ARIZONA (2015)
Long ago, Southwestern archaeologists realized the value of non-decorated pottery as a source of cultural information. The fundamental work of Colton and others (e.g., Pilles and Wood) have established the examination of non-decorated pottery as a key aspect for understanding the Sinagua Culture of central Arizona. This poster represents a continuation of the work began by Henderson (1978, 1990) and later refined by Henss (1990) on the non-decorated pottery excavated from Chavez Pass Ruin (13th...
Provenance Analysis of Pottery Sherds from an Early-19th Century Milling Village in Northeast Pennsylvania (2017)
As a cost-effective and non-destructive method for multi-element analysis, portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) has the potential for broad archaeological application. Here, we employ pXRF for the compositional analysis of pottery sherds collected from Stoddartsville, an early-19th century milling village built along the upper Lehigh River in northeast Pennsylvania. Our analysis demonstrates that we can use compositional data to source pottery sherds to regional potteries, documenting...
Proyecto Encrucijada-Pajonal
Digital images and supporting documents related to the Encrucijada-Pajonal Project (von Nagy 2003) along the Pajonal and Arenal paleodistributaries of the Grijalva delta. The project focused on Early and Middle Formative (Preclassic) Olmec settlements in western Tabasco. Pottery data acquired through excavation of Pajonal sites and from the site of San Andrés near La Venta form the basis for the Early and Middle Formative pottery chronology for the region of the Tabasco Olmec.
Stressing differences while appearing to be the same: a case study from Lapita pottery motif analysis (2017)
In previous research, employing a dataset composed of motifs recorded from 60 Lapita sites spread across the southwestern Pacific, we argued that a general trend of making highly similar, but not identical, motifs can be seen when motif repertoires of different island groups are compared. We thus proposed that the elements of surprise or amusement, generated from making something similar yet different from what the intended audience expected to see, was employed to stress shared traditions while...
