Summary
This is an abstract from the "Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Excavations at the Longshan period settlement of Liangchengzhen in southeastern Shandong have uncovered large quantities and diverse forms of ceramic vessels from contexts representing each phase of occupation. This paper explores consumption patterns for ceramic vessels in one neighborhood during eight phases of occupation estimated to represent approximately 200 years. It compares consumption patterns for fine and coarse wares, discussing potential evidence for especially valued kinds of vessels recovered from different depositional contexts. Possible methods of ceramic distribution are discussed in relation to varieties of vessel form, surface treatment, and size over time.
