Abstract

Ceramics, including pottery, are one of the most ubiquitous artifact categories recovered from archaeological sites. Archaeologists use ceramics to answer questions about the dating of sites, changes in technology, economic organization, identity, status, ideology, and the movement and/or interaction of past societies. This chapter provides an overview of ceramic technology and the many uses of pottery for archaeological interpretation. © 2008
