Abstract
From 1993-1995, the Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center at the National Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with Russian Far Eastern Museums produced a traveling exhibition designed for cities and rural communities in Alaska entitled 'Crossroads Alaska.' This exhibition focuses on prehistoric, traditional, and modern cultures of the North Pacific. This exhibition provided an opportunity to study eleven pottery fragments from Sakhalin Island and one from Alaska. This study involved a preliminary assessment of the similarity of technologies for pottery manufacture on both sides of the Bering Strait. This article reports the results obtained from the study.
