"…Much improved in fashion, neatness and utility": The Development of the Philadelphia Ceramic Industry, 1700-1800 (2016)
The potting industry of Philadelphia has a long and storied past, beginning in the late 17th century with William Crews, the first documented potter in the city. More than fifty years of archaeological research has provided incredible insight into the ceramics industry of Philadelphia, not only in terms of available wares, but also the role Philadelphia ceramics played in the early American marketplace. This presentation explores the 18th century development and diversity of the Philadelphia...

Multi-Element Characterization of Early Nineteenth Century Edged Pearlware from Native American and Euro-American Sites (2016)
Edged Pearlware, a type of refined earthenware imported from England, is found at many early nineteenth century Native American and Euro-American sites in North America. Due to the small size of sherds and the lack of sherds with maker’s marks, it is currently difficult to identify the date, location, and manufacturing process for Edged Pearlware. This poster compares sherds from three sites occupied during the first half of the nineteenth century: Pokagon Village, a Native American site;...
Multi-Lab Collaborative Experiments with RHX Dating (2015)
Michigan Technological University, California State University-Long Beach, and Arizona State University scientists have been collaborating on a critical assessment of the novel RHX Dating technique, pioneered by Wilson et al. (2009). This chronometric technique, if proven reliable, will transform archaeological dating practices. We have conducted multiple trials with a wide range of ceramic types from Neolithic through Early Modern, using varied set ups of instrumentation and thoughtful lab...

NAA Analysis of Ambato Ceramics from the Southern Andes (Eastern Valleys of Catamarca and Tucuman, Argentina) (2016)
We analyze the provenience of clays used in the manufacture of Aguada ceramics, mainly black incised, characteristic of the Ambato valley of southeastern Catamarca (Argentina). This ceramic style is also present in lesser quantities in sites of other neighboring valleys/regions, most of it manufactured with the same clay. The research is part of a broader project to study economic organization and the emergence of complex societies in northwestern Argentina. Research that took place in the...
Navigating the Narrative: Ceramics from Ocean Floor to Museum Door. (2013)
So far, some 200 ceramic sherds representing at least 17 vessel types have been excavated from the early eighteenth century shipwreck (31CR314), Queen Anne’s Revenge, off the coast of North Carolina. This paper will briefly describe this ceramic assemblage, from its global origins to its consumer uses. The main focus, however, will be to tell a story. A story of how many voices of archaeology including conservators, material culture specialists and scientists, are working together to unravel...
Negotiating Practices at the Emerald Site (11S1): A Case Study of Two Burned Structures (2015)
Located near the Silver Creek in the Illinois uplands of the midcontinent of the United States, the Emerald Site (11S1) in Lebanon, IL is a constructed Mississippian mound center where everyday practices were entangled with the performance of Mississippian religion. Recent excavations at the Emerald Site by Indiana University and the University of Illinois have unearthed high densities of non-domestic structures dating to the Terminal Late Woodland (TLW) Edelhardt (AD 950-1000) and Early...
A Network-Based Approach to the Study of Neolithic Pottery Production in the Tavoliere (Apulia, Italy) (2016)
The Tavoliere has one of the densest concentrations of Neolithic settlement in Europe and is known for its wide repertoire of pottery styles. Using network analysis techniques, this study explores Neolithic pottery production in the region by integrating typological analysis with petrography and elemental characterization using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry. In doing so, we reveal sets of choices made at multiple stages of the production processes and in turn shed light on the...
Neutron Activation Analysis in Archaeological Pottery from Mendoza, Central Western Argentina (2016)
In Mendoza, the first record of pottery has been dated ca. 2000 years BP. The technology used varies in terms of manufacture and decoration. Differences in cultural, social and economic organization were also present in the area. The Atuel and Diamante river basins are in a transition zone, where different kinds of social organization, farmers and pastoralists in the north and hunter-gatherers in the south were present. This variability enhances a debate about analytical ways to approach ceramic...
New Ceramic Economic Indices for the Historical Archaeology of the Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Centuries (2018)
Since the 1980s, historical archaeologists have productively used Miller's ceramic economic indices (CEIs) to quantify ceramic expenditure patterns. However, the Miller CEIs are suited primarily to antebellum assemblages. This temporal limit is problematic, constraining our use of ceramics to investigate postbellum economics and consumerism. We redress this problem by presenting a new set of CEIs, which we created expressly for ceramics manufactured between 1880 and 1929, by gathering ceramic...
New Evidence for Early Ceramic Use in the Middle Rio Grande Valley (2016)
Recent archaeological excavation of an early Developmental period village within the Albuquerque city limits has revealed the earliest evidence for ceramics in the Middle and Northern Rio Grande Valley to date. A roasting pit at LA 138927, located immediately adjacent to Montaño Pueblo, contained Alma Plain jar sherds associated with charcoal dated to the early AD 400s. The identification of pottery in fifth century deposits in the Albuquerque area is significant, as pottery first appeared in...
New Objects, Old Trade: 19th-and 20th-century European Ceramics and Glass in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (2015)
Historical archaeology has often examined the role of material culture within the new and increasingly globalised trade networks brought about by European colonial and economic expansion in the post-1500 period. The 19th- and 20th-century European ceramics and glass recovered in the inland oasis city of Al Ain, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, do not necessarily indicate that the arrival of new European material culture types are associated with the replacement or wholesale...
