Microfossils and Micro-XRF: sourcing raw materials for Iron Age to Romano-British pottery production at Burrough Hill hillfort, UK (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Whitbread. Jeremy Taylor. Mark Williams. Ian Wilkinson. Ian Boomer.

Burrough Hill hillfort, east Leicestershire, United Kingdom, is an example of an Iron Age settlement of the Corieltauvi people who occupied the East Midlands in the millennium prior to the Roman occupation of Britain in AD 43. The hillfort is set in a sedimentary landscape with few distinctive rock types. Objectives of the current study are to determine signatures of the local sedimentary deposits, building materials and pottery using ceramic petrography, micropalaeontology, WDXRF and micro-XRF....


Micromorphology of Hearth Features and FTIR Analysis of Clays at Xianrendong and Yuchanyan Cave: Reconstructing Pyrotechnology and Human Behaviour Connected with the Earliest Pottery (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ilaria Patania. Susan Mentzer. Ofer Bar-Yosef. Paul Goldberg.

The cave sites of Xianrendong and Yuchanyan are known for having produced the earliest pottery sherds yet discovered, respectively 20,000 cal BP and 18,600 cal BP. Both of these Chinese Upper Palaeolithic sites have been systematically sampled for radiocarbon dating and geoarchaeological analysis. Through micromorphology we identified clay lined fire features and ash lenses at both caves, revealing technological behaviour concerning pyrotechnology and the manipulation of clays in the Chinese...


The Microscopy and Macroscopy of Islamic Lustre wares (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Mason.

Petrographic and SEM studies of the lustre-painted glazed pottery of the Islamic world between c. 700 and 1400 have defined an elite, high-technology ware made in few centres, at times only one centre for the entire Middle East; with a distribution network that spanned the Old World. Production centres such as Basra in Iraq, and al-Fustat in Egypt created some of the most advanced and influential ceramic types of the period, utilising technologies developed locally. But scientific laboratory...

Migration, Diffusion, and Trade: Potting in Neolithic NW China (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ling-yu Hung. Jianfeng Cui.

Painted pottery traditions in Neolithic Northwest China emerged through diverse processes of human migration, technical transmission, style imitation, and material exchange. Starting around 6000 years BP, Yangshao farming communities expanded incrementally farther upstream along the Upper Yellow River drainage and westward along the Hexi Corridor. The painted pottery tradition introduced by Yangshao immigrants developed into different chronological and regional styles in Northwest China over the...

Miniature in Everything but Meaning: A Contextual Analysis of Miniature Vessels at Homol’ovi (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire Barker. Samantha Fladd.

Within the archaeological literature there are several studies of miniature vessels that have attempted to explain the presence of these unique artifacts in prehistoric Puebloan society. The two most common hypotheses are that these pots were made by inexperienced potters while learning their craft, or they were produced by expert ceramic artisans and served a ritual function. These analyses have largely depended on assessing the skill with which miniature vessels were produced. The results of...


Miniature Pottery Vessels in the Mimbres Region (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lydia Pittman.

This paper presents a study of Miniature Pottery vessels from the Mimbres region of the American Southwest. I define these vessels as no larger than 10cm in length in any dimension. My data set includes over 150 vessels from sites in southwestern New Mexico. I will look at attributes such as painting, slip, temper, and completeness as well as depositional context to make inferences about the possible uses of these vessels in the time period that is covered. My vessels span almost 1000 years...


Modern and Contemporary pottery in Galicia (Iberian Northwest): an updated discussion (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Manuel Piñeiro Soto. M. Pilar Prieto Martínez.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological studies focusing on pottery of the fifteenth century onwards are still a scarce topic of research in Galicia. Even though there has been a peak on the publication of great quality works during the past years, it seems necessary to approach all this information aiming to obtain a wider portrayal. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to conduct a summary of the published...


Molded Ceramic Vessels of the Late Prehistoric Appalachian Summit (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Whyte.

Late Woodland ceramic vessels in northwestern North Carolina are highly variable in tempering materials and surface treatments but are nearly limited to jar forms of a limited size range. Coil breaks are found almost exclusively on shoulder, neck, and rim sherds. Vessel bodies sometimes exhibit evidence of net impression underlying rectilinear stamping. These attributes coupled with experimental observations indicate that vessel bodies were often formed in molds. This mode of ceramic vessel...


The Monagrillo Ceramic Complex of Panama in Subsistence and Social Contexts (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Carly Pope.

The Monagrlon ceramic complex has been identified at myriad archaeological sites around Parita Bay, Panama. These vary widely in geography from costal, to inland, to riverine places. In these different environments, there is disparate and varied evidence of agriculture, indications of hierarchical social structures, and relationships with the creation of pottery at Panamanian sites. I theorize that maritime resources as opposed to cultivation formed the basis of these sedentary or semi-sedentary...


The More Things Change: Similarities and Differences in Pastes from Preclassic and Postclassic Pottery in the Western Petén Lakes (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine South. Leslie Cecil.

Investigations in the western Petén lakes area have provided useful collections of pottery excavated from a variety of sites ranging from the Middle Preclassic to the Contact periods. This abundance has enabled intensive study of pottery from both macroscopic and compositional perspectives. This paper compares compositional results from Middle Preclassic and Postclassic pottery samples collected and analyzed by the authors. A comparison of petrographic analysis from thin sections demonstrates...

Moving Ideas, Staying at Home: Change and Continuity in 18th Century Pueblo Pottery (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Bruce Bernstein.

Sometimes staying in place requires movement. To stay in their pre-contact villages required that Pueblo people shift loci of cultural practice as well as reorder intellectual and material culture. New styles of pottery, including the adaptation of blackwares, quickly moved from one Rio Grande pueblo to the next. By the close of the 18th century, pottery changed and is adapted in its use for storing, preparing, and serving wheat-based foods such as oven-baked bread. The movement of new pottery...


Multi-Element Characterization of Early Nineteenth Century Pottery Sherds from Native American and Euro-American Sites (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Schurr. Patrick Donohue. Antonio Simonetti.

Fine earthenwares imported from England are a distinctive type of artifact frequently found on early nineteenth century Native American and Euro-American sites. Relatively rapid changes in decorative motifs and technologies can easily be identified by eye and provide information about site chronology and economic status. However, visual analyses of sherds usually can usually provide only general information because of the fragmentary nature of most assemblages. For example, transfer printed...

Neolithic Northern China in the Context of Early Eurasian Interactions (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Eric Carlucci. Ling-yu Hung.

With a focus on painted pottery assemblages known as Yangshao, Majiayao, Banshan, and Machang from Neolithic Northern China, the present study explores early Eurasian interactions and exchanges indicated by ceramic assemblages and other kinds of archaeological records dated before 4000 years ago. Since the 1920s, scholars have noticed parallels between China’s painted pottery and other collections in Central Asia and further west, prompting the "western origins" theory on painted pottery found...
