Casma Pottery Production at El Campanario Site, Huarmey Valley, Peru (2017)
Pottery production was an important aspect of the social and economic life within Andean societies. In pre-industrial societies craft production occurred at the household level and depending upon the social complexity, this production was either independent or sponsored by the elite. Recent archaeological excavation of domestic contexts at the El Campanario site revealed that the area was occupied by the Casma polity during the Middle Horizon (600-1000 AD). This coastal polity occupied the...
Cheqoq Inka Imperial Workshop Ceramic Rims (Cusco, Peru) (2018)
Subset of ceramics recovered at the archaeological site of Cheqoq-Maras (Urubamba, Cusco, Peru) during excavations of a Cuzco-Inka (imperial-style) pottery workshop. These data include contextual attributes, as well as rim diameters, rim thickness, and body thickness for all Cuzco-Inka rim sherds identifiable to form type. These data have been published in Quave, Kylie E. 2017. "Imperial-style ceramic production on a royal estate in the Inka heartland (Cuzco, Peru)." Latin American Antiquity 28...
Children and the ceramic industry in medieval England (2016)
This paper discusses the role of children in the ceramic industry in medieval England, using the work of medieval ceramics specialists Maureen Mellor and Stephen Moorhouse as a starting point from which new evidence relating to this subject can be assessed. Children’s involvement in pottery production manifests itself in a variety of ways, including fingerprints on ceramic sherds, decorative qualities on pots and tiles, and documentary references. Similar studies relating to pottery production...
Defying Isolation: Pre-Civil War American Pottery Production and Marketing (2016)
Important to the study of historic pottery is removing notions of contemporary craft and dated research on potters both rural and urban being secluded to local markets. If archaeology is evidence of anything, it is evidence that potters were not isolated, even for the early vestiges of production in America. Kiln sites are also evidence of potters' interests and capability of making large quantities of pottery for a broad market, as well as often making both earthenware and stoneware in one...
Economic differentiation in Hongshan core zone communities: A geochemical perspective (2015)
It is proposed that a greater degree of differentiation between households in Hongshan villages (4500-3000 BC) in northeast China with regard to productive activities implies a greater degree of economic interdependence between households and a more complex economy, which possibly provides leaders with enhanced opportunities to mobilize labor toward such ends. Analysis of household artifact assemblages in the Hongshan periphery has indicated some very modest levels of productive differentiation...
Pottery production and consumption in the Andean-Amazonian frontier in southwestern Colombia (2500-500 BP) (2016)
The circulation of goods and knowledge between Amazonian and Andean societies from southwestern Colombia have been understood as pivotal for the development of political hierarchies in the region since 2500 BP. However, such circulation has not been supported by solid empirical evidence. By using neutron activation data we document pottery production, distribution and consumption in a frontier region between Andean and Amazonian groups. Ceramic samples were obtained from a systematic regional...
Social Change and the Evolution of Ceramic Production and Distribution in a Maya Community (2008)
How and why do ceramics and their production change through time? Social Change and the Evolution of Ceramic Production and Distribution in a Maya Community is a unique ethno-archaeological study that attempts to answer these questions by tracing social change among potters and changes in the production and distribution of their pottery in a single Mexican community between 1965 and 1997. Dean E. Arnold made ten visits to Ticul, Yucatan, Mexico, witnessing the changes in transportation...
Standardization in pottery production of the Jinsha site, Chengdu Plain, China (2017)
In earlier studies, scholars have focused on the measurement of vessels’ dimensions to assess the degree of standardization. It should be noted however that not all dimensions are culturally salient or equally important. Moreover, when manufacturing processes can be decomposed into multiple stages, cultural idiosyncrasies that have been shaped through either institutionalized or unconscious ways might affect and be sought in any of these stages. This has called for analyses on ceramics by using...
