The inhabitants of Jeju island, Korea, maintained active trade routes with societies in the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Archipelago, and mainland East Asia. These interactions are encoded in material culture, including imported pottery. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis provides high-resolution data on ceramic geochemistry that allows for differentiation among local Jeju clay sources, Peninsular clays, and those from farther afield. Samples from the earliest known pottery-bearing sites...
Journeys of Our Ancestors: Ceramic Colorants and their Role in Undestanding Migration in the American Southwest (2017)
Culturally defined color, and the technology used to produce it, is a hallmark of ceramics produced in the American Southwest prior to European contact. This characteristic (among others) was utilized to initially name, define and describe archaeologically recovered ceramic wares (e.g. Colton and Hargrave 1937; Fewkes 1898; Kidder 1931; Shepard 1931). The integration of conservation science and materials science approaches to this research is crucial to reveal nuanced interpretations of cultural...

Koriabo ceramics of the Lower Xingu area: a north-south stylistic flow? (2016)
Cross-regional and persistent ceramic attributes/styles may express networks of past indigenous societies. In this paper we present a characterization and the general context of a previously unknown ceramic complex at the mouth of the Xingu River area, Gurupá/Pará/Brazil. We discuss similarities and distinctions of these materials compared to other ceramic complexes. In a regional perspective, these ceramics show unprecedented and important data for late pre-colonial history in the lower Amazon:...
La Faïencerie De La Nouvelle Orleans: French Colonial Faience Production In New Orleans, Louisiana (2018)
Archaeologists invariably blame the French for all of the ceramics laying about South Louisiana colonial period sites, even those dating to the Spanish colonial period. But were the ceramics actually made in France? Could they have been manufactured locally? One Spanish period redware kiln has already been examined archaeologically in St. James Parish. Indeed, not only did potiers, or makers of redware, work in the French colony of La Louisiane, so too did faïenciers. This paper presents...
The labor of making: Crafting ceramics in Medieval South India (2021)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in South Asia" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper explores the question of labor in the study of crafted objects from archaeological contexts. Working with an assemblage of excavated ceramics from a Medieval (12th-14th century CE) settlement at Maski (northern Karnataka), it problematizes the categories proposed by the political-economy oriented framework of “craft production...
Labor Relations and Ceramic Technology in Spanish Northwest Florida (1698-1763) (2023)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists have traditionally applied a dichotomy to the classification of ceramics recovered from Northwest Florida presidios, reflecting broad assumptions about labor relations in the Spanish Southeast U.S. Ceramic sorting typically begins with the assumption that low-fired, hand-formed wares were produced by Native potters of the Southeast U.S. High-fired, wheel-thrown, or...
Late Classic Ceramic Production and Communities of Practice at Uxbenka, Belize (2017)
Archaeological approaches to ancient Maya communities often assume that spatially distinct architectural groups are tantamount to social groups, but proximity is likely not the only salient organizing principle. Members of prehistoric communities, like modern ones, defined the community in which they belong based on who they choose to interact with, which often lies at the intersection of kin, status, gender, ethic, economic, and spatial affiliations. Employing a communities of practice...
Late Shang Cooking and Cooking Technology from Yinxu, China (2017)
A great deal of effort has been dedicated to developing detailed ceramic chronologies at the late Shang capital of Yinxu (ca. 1200-1045 B.C.E.) in China, but there has been comparatively less focus on the specific, actual uses of ceramic vessels and the roles that they played in the day-to-day life of Shang citizens. Local cooking practices and cooking technology in particular, both of which are key aspects in household dynamics and cultural identity, hold the potential to reveal important...
Lead and strontium isotopes to source ceramics in ancient Mexico (2016)
Recent study showed that lead isotope analysis constitutes an efficient tool to discriminate between ceramics from different origins and can be used to trace pottery provenance in the Eastern Mediterranean (Renson et al. 2011 [Archaeometry 53] 37-57, Renson et al. [Archaeometry] in press). We are now applying this approach to Olmec-style pottery from Mexico. In this study, we analyzed lead and strontium isotopes of fragments from various Olmec-style ceramic wares excavated at San Lorenzo,...

Life in a Mississippian Warscape; Violence and Materiality at the Common Field Site (2016)
Analyses and interpretations of Mississippian Period warfare have typically been couched in evolutionary theoretical frameworks that down play, dismiss, or ignore the impacts of endemic violence on the lived experiences of past peoples. Carolyn Nordstrom (1997) advocates the telling of "a different kind of war story," one that focuses on human experiences, tragedies, and creativity during periods of political and social upheaval and violence. In this presentation, I discuss a framework for...
Lines and Legacies: Ceramic Assemblages from the Weeden Island Site (8PI1) (2015)
The Weeden Island site (8PI1) is perhaps best known for its connection to the eponymous Woodland period culture, found in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and characterized in part by the use of a specialized class of decorated mortuary wares. In the Tampa Bay area, both the regional movement and local production of pottery contributed to the adoption of new ceremonial practices in the late Woodland period. I present here a study of ceramic collections from early 20th century work at the Weeden...
