Abstract
more useful in frequency seriations for chronology. He also concludes that interpretations of activity patterns (e.g. estimates of where cooking occurred) are complicated by the fact that they “are the product of differences in [pottery] type use lives as much as they are the product of ancient pot-using behavior” (p 173). This is a very detailed study of an important issue in archaeology, but I suspect that only a few dedicated readers will need the level of detail presented, particularly in Chapter 6. I hope that archaeologists, especially those who work with pottery, will consider applying some of Shott’s findings to their pottery data and add comparative data to this case study and the others Shott discussed so thoroughly. This is a study of the minutia of archaeology, but the implications of research like this are important.
期刊介绍:
Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
