ANTH 65800 - Pottery in Archaeology

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

In many archaeological sites, pottery is the most common type of artifact recovered. The analysis and interpretation of ceramic remains allow archaeologists to accomplish several goals: establish a chronological sequence, track interaction between different areas, and suggest what types of activities people may have conducted at the site. This course will focus on the ways that archaeologists bridge the gap between the analysis and the interpretation of ceramic data. Class meetings will involve discussion of the readings, student presentations, lectures, and the analysis of archeological ceramics in the archaeological collections of the Department of Anthropology.
