Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences 2024

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences 2024" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences is a welcoming venue for presenting research and insight on all aspects of ceramic analysis, production, consumption, and trade and their economic, political, social, aesthetic, cosmological, and phenomenological implications. Ceramics are one of humanity’s most durable products. The abundant geological presence, variability, and plasticity of their main ingredient—clay—have afforded humans in diverse world areas and times remarkable creativity and space for social expression through its manufacturing process. As a result, they are invaluable to scholars in answering diverse research questions supported by archaeological sciences, anthropological methods, and theories. In this session, supported by the Society for Archaeological Sciences, participants will approach these questions and present new data on ceramics, methodological applications, and theoretical insights.
