This study attempted to infer the existence of the League of the Iroquois. While not reflected ceramically, the results were considered in relation to warfare, trade, and the emergence of a new tribe.
Is Close Enough, Enough?: Negotiations of Self and Place in Castroville, Texas through Ceramics. (2017)
The mid-to-late-19th century marked a time of enormous material and social changearound the world. Newly available lands and a more fluid social structure made life in the American West, and Texas, especially desirable for immigrants from Europe. Immigrants from the French-German border region of Alsace sought and found opportunity in what would become Castroville, Texas. The Birys, a family within the community, sought opportunity like many new immigrants and faced many of the same challenges....
Is It Hot Enough Yet? Reconstructing Firing Temperatures for Prehistoric Honduran Ceramics through Re-Firing Experiments (2015)
Investigations conducted in the Naco valley and its environs within NW Honduras from 1975-2008 have revealed multiple facilities in which ceramic containers were fired. The vast majority of these date to the Late (AD 600-800) and Terminal Classic periods (AD 800-1000). Their diverse forms and dimensions hint at variations in aspects of production including the temperatures at which the vessels were heated and the degree of control artisans exercised over the manufacturing process. One line of...
Islamic consumption networks of the western Indian Ocean (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Islamic material culture", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Patterns of production and use of ceramics in eastern Africa offer a window into practices of consumption. Islamic glazed ceramics, originating in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, are the most plentiful evidence for trade networks and the accumulation of wealth from trade in coastal East Africa from c. AD700 onwards. Locally produced earthenwares suggest...
It's a Date: A Comparison of Pipe Stem and Ceramics Relative Dating at Christiansted National Historic Site (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dating techniques, both relative and absolute, are key members of the archaeological toolkit. They serve to chronologically situate the remnants of past peoples, material or otherwise, in the overarching narrative of a place or region. However, not all methods of dating are created equal, and the utility of a particular method for clarifying the historical and...

Jeju Island Ceramics as Evidence of Overseas Trade (2017)
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...
