Download or read book Persian Pottery in the First Global Age written by Lisa Golombek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persian Pottery in the First Global Age: the Sixteenth and Seventeeth Centuries studies the ceramic industry of Iran in the Safavid period (1501–1732) and the impact which the influx of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, heightened by the activities of the English and Dutch East Indies Companies after c. 1700, had on local production. The multidisciplinary approach of the authors (Lisa Golombek, Robert B. Mason, Patricia Proctor, Eileen Reilly) leads to a reconstruction of the narrative about Safavid pottery and revises commonly accepted notions. The book includes easily accessible reference charts to assist in dating and provenancing Safavid pottery on the basis of diagnostic motifs, potters’ marks, petrofabrics, shapes, and Chinese models.

Download or read book Ceramics and Change in the Early Bronze Age of the Southern Levant written by Graham Philip and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out the primary issues and current debates in the use of ceramics to reconstruct and explain cultural economic and social processes in the Early Bronze age. By bringing together research on pottery from various parts of the southern Levant, it allows direct comparison of contemporary material from different regions. Alongside these empirical studies are discussions of general ceramic issues, so that the book highlights the potential of pottery as an investigative tool, and indicates fruitful directions for future research within the traditionally conservative field of Levantine archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Archaeology of Exchange is primarily an archaeology of human sociality and anti-sociality. Nevertheless, archaeological studies of exchange are numerous and varied, and archaeologists do not always approach exchange as a social mechanism, concentrating rather on the cultural, economic or political implications of exchange. Even so, at times it is worth retracing the implicit theoretical steps that archaeologists have taken and look at human sociality through the eyes of exchange as something new. This is undertaken here by concentrating on the exchange of social valuables in the later part of the Late Ceramic Age of the Greater and Lesser Antilles (AD 1000/1100-1492). Questions concerning this exchange are framed in a novel mix of theories such as Costly Signalling Theory coupled with the paradox of keeping-while-giving and the notion of gene/culture co-evolution joined with Complex Adaptive System theory. All these theories can be related back to the concept of exchange as put forward by the French sociologist Marcel Mauss in his famous "Essai sur le don" of 1950. This theoretical framework is put to the test by an extensive case-study of a specific category of Late Ceramic Age social valuables, shell faces, which have an area of distribution that ranges from central Cuba to the Ile de Ronde in the Grenadines. The study of these enigmatic artefacts provides new insights into the nature and use of social valuables by communities and individuals in the Late Ceramic Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume emphasizes the complex interactions between ceramic containers and people in past and present contexts. Pottery, once it appears in the archaeological record, is one of the most routinely recovered artifacts. It is made frequently, broken often, and comes in endless varieties according to economic and social requirements. Moreover, even in shreds ceramics can last almost forever, providing important clues about past human behavior. The contributors to this volume, all leaders in ceramic research, probe the relationship between humans and ceramics. Here they offer new discoveries obtained through traditional lines of inquiry, demonstrate methodological breakthroughs, and expose innovative new areas for research. Among the topics covered in this volume are the age at which children begin learning pottery making; the origins of pottery in the Southwest U.S., Mesoamerica, and Greece; vessel production and standardization; vessel size and food consumption patterns; the relationship between pottery style and meaning; and the role pottery and other material culture plays in communication. Pottery and People provides a cross-section of the state of the art, emphasizing the complete interactions between ceramic containers and people in past and present contexts. This is a milestone volume useful to anyone interested in the connections between pots and people.

Download or read book The Bronze Age Begins written by Philip P. Betancourt and published by INSTAP Academic Press. This book was released on 2008-08-26 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on economic and social changes, particularly during the opening phase of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete. New developments in ceramics that reached Crete at the end of the Neolithic period greatly contributed to the creation of economic, technological, social, and religious advancements we call the Early Bronze Age. The arguments are two-fold: a detailed explanation of the ceramics we call Early Minoan I and the differences that set it apart from its predecessors, and an explanation of how these new and highly superior containers changed the storage, transport, and accumulation of a new form of wealth consisting primarily of processed agricultural and animal products like wine, olive oil, and various foods preserved in wine, vinegar, honey, and other liquids. The increased stability and security provided by an improved ability to store food from one year to the next would have a profound effect on the society.

Download or read book Ceramics Cuisine and Culture written by Michela Spataro and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-10-31 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 23 papers presented here are the product of the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches to the study of kitchen pottery between archaeologists, material scientists, historians and ethnoarchaeologists. They aim to set a vital but long-neglected category of evidence in its wider social, political and economic contexts. Structured around main themes concerning technical aspects of pottery production; cooking as socioeconomic practice; and changing tastes, culinary identities and cross-cultural encounters, a range of social economic and technological models are discussed on the basis of insights gained from the study of kitchen pottery production, use and evolution. Much discussion and work in the last decade has focussed on technical and social aspects of coarse ware and in particular kitchen ware. The chapters in this volume contribute to this debate, moving kitchen pottery beyond the Binfordian ‘technomic’ category and embracing a wider view, linking processualism, ceramic-ecology, behavioral schools, and ethnoarchaeology to research on historical developments and cultural transformations covering a broad geographical area of the Mediterranean region and spanning a long chronological sequence.

Book excerpt: In the dissertation research presented here, I seek to characterize the emergence of middle-range societies in the Caribbean through the analysis of settlement patterns and regional development in the Banes region of northeastern Cuba. Archaeological and ethnohistorical data both suggest that some degree of sociopolitical complexity developed in Late Ceramic Age Cuba between A.D. 1100 and A.D. 1500, although the degree and timing of regional integration has been difficult to assess due to a limited chronological framework, an incomplete understanding of the interrelationships among contemporaneous sites, and a broader interpretive bias that defines complexity only in reference to sociopolitical groups on neighboring islands. Accordingly, the goals of this research are to: (1) derive a pattern of chronological change in the Meillacoid ceramics produced in Banes through a frequency seriation based on a hierarchical modal analysis; (2) apply a revised regional sequence to survey data in order to characterize settlement and identify a settlement hierarchy in Late Ceramic Age sites in Banes; (3) establish polity boundaries through GIS-based spatial analyses; and (4) determine, based on these analyses, whether the Late Ceramic Age landscape in Banes reflects supracommunity political organization and, if so, posit a diachronic model for its regional integration. By reanalyzing ceramic collections from the sites of Potrero de El Mango, Aguas Gordas, and El Chorro de Maíta, this research will provide a new interpretation of the sites and collections that have played a formative role in the characterization of Baní culture. This reanalysis of ceramic assemblages will establish contemporaneity between archaeological sites, provide a detailed description of Bani culture ceramics, and contribute a phase-based chronology for the Banes region. GIS-based distributional studies that model the proximity, density, and overall distribution of archaeological sites will serve as indices of regional political integration and will measure change in the regional settlement pattern. Ultimately, this research will test whether sense can be made of Late Ceramic Age settlement as a politically organized landscape and, if so, model the developmental trajectory of the region over time. This research seeks to highlight the archaeological record of Cuba by characterizing the local processes that led to the emergence of complex societies in Banes and reorienting the discussion of complexity to include areas outside of the Taíno heartland. By focusing on an area that is characteristically distinct from, but geographically near the purported boundary between the Taíno and adjacent communities, this research will critically review one of the basic cultural distinctions that figures prominently in current archaeological interpretation and provide new data regarding the variability of sociopolitical organization in the Caribbean. An important part of this work will draw from a comprehensive body of research regarding the emergence, structure, and organization of chiefly societies, thus promoting a better understanding of the timing and nature of Late Ceramic Age cultural fluorescence emergence in the Banes region. By establishing contemporaneity and identifying a patterned distribution of archaeological sites, this dissertation provides a case study of the emergence of autonomous political entities against a background of independent villages and addresses the organization of variability in the Late Ceramic Age Caribbean.
