Ceramics is a very large subject, and one which it would be impossible to cover adequately in a single manual. This volume introduces the first-year student and the beginner to ceramic processes and techniques, without too much of the physics and chemistry which are needed for more advanced work (and will be covered in the same author's forthcoming Manual of High-Temperature Pottery and Ceramics). After a short history of the art, the text follows the same course as the ceramic process itself, starting with the basic materials and how they are formed both by hand and by mechanical methods - proceeding to the firing in the kiln, and ending with final surface treatments. Such theory as is included will be found where it is necessary to the clear understanding of the process. Equipment is described at appropriate and relevant points, so that the options at any one time may be considered against the available tools. The only exception to this is the chapter on kilns, which pre-empts any discussion of what can be done because the kiln size and type will determine what is possible. 170 illustrations in colour and black and white show the tools, equipment and methods of the ceramicist, and some striking examples of his work, both ancient and modern. David Hamilton is Head of Ceramics at the Portsmouth Polytechnic's Department of Fine Art.

L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de fournir aux archéologues, étudiants et chercheurs, un cadre théorique et méthodologique pour étudier les assemblages céramiques. Ce cadre est fondé sur l’approche technologique qui, à travers le concept de chaîne opératoire, ambitionne une lecture anthropologique des objets archéologiques. Pour mettre en œuvre cette lecture, l’auteur propose une stratégie de recherche originale dont l’exposé est au cœur de ce manuel. Cette stratégie conditionne l’organisation des différents chapitres dont la succession répond au souci didactique d’expliciter non seulement comment étudier des séries archéologiques, mais aussi pourquoi les modalités d’étude proposées sont incontournables pour aborder, de manière fondée, des champs interprétatifs ambitieux.

The Spanish colonization dramatically interrupted the autonomous development of ancient Mesoamerican culture. Nevertheless, indigenous societies learnt to live with the conquest. It was not only a time of crisis, but also an extraordinarily creative time period in which material culture reflected indigenous peoples’ varied responses and adaptations to the changing circumstances. This work presents insights into the process of cultural continuity and change in the indigenous world by focusing on pottery technology in the Nahua (Aztec) region of Central Mexico. The late pre-colonial, early colonial and present-day characteristics of this industry are explored in order to come to a renewed understanding of its long-term development. with a contribution by Iliana Yunuen Caloca Rhi

Daniel Albero Santacreu presents a wide overview of certain aspects of the pottery analysis and summarizes most of the methodological and theoretical information currently applied in archaeology in order to develop wide and deep analysis of ceramic pastes. The book provides an adequate framework for understanding the way pottery production is organised and clarifies the meaning and role of the pottery in archaeological and traditional societies. The goal of this book is to encourage reflection, especially by those researchers who face the analysis of ceramics for the first time, by providing a background for the generation of their own research and to formulate their own questions depending on their concerns and interests. The three-part structure of the book allows readers to move easily from the analysis of the reality and ceramic material culture to the world of the ideas and theories and to develop a dialogue between data and their interpretation. Daniel Albero Santacreu is a Lecturer Assistant in the University of the Balearic Islands, member of the Research Group Arqueo UIB and the Ceramic Petrology Group. He has carried out the analysis of ceramics from several prehistoric societies placed in the Western Mediterranean, as well as the study of handmade pottery from contemporary ethnic groups in Northeast Ghana.
