Ceramic Petrographers in the Americas, Production Practices and Social Networks from Multilevel Angles

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 90th Annual Meeting, Denver, CO (2025)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Ceramic Petrographers in the Americas, Production Practices and Social Networks from Multilevel Angles" at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The focus of this poster session is on ceramic materials (senso largo), production practices, and social networks approached from a multilevel angle, including ceramic petrography coupled (or not) to other analysis techniques, grounded in conceptual frameworks leading to a better understanding of social interactions, knowledge construction, and the building of communities at large.
