Abstract

"Irving Rouse is considered the father of Caribbean archaeology and one of the most important archaeological theorists in the world. His analytical and classification practices have been adopted by archaeologists working in Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and the Caribbean. In 1939, Rouse introduced a distinction between artifact attributes and modes. Attributes are any observation the archaeologist wishes to make about artifact properties. Modes are any standard, custom, or belief to which the artisan conformed during the production or use of artifacts. According to Rouse, all modes are attributes but not all attributes are modes. Modes are properly patterned attributes. Many archaeologists do not understand the implications of this crucial distinction, which is carefully and fully explicated in this book. Then the explication is used to create a general theory of ceramic production that, when applied to a sample, produces an ethnographic account of its production. When used to supplement traditional systems of artifact classification it will add both substance and meaning. When applied to an appropriate range of ceramic samples it will generate a world-embracing ceramic ethnography. As an example of how the Rouse-based approach should be applied and in an attempt to detail the transition Rouse posited from the Saladoid to Ostinoid Ceramic Series, Krause uses a ceramic sample from the Paso del Indio site in Puerto Rico"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Sepphoris was an important Galilean site from Hellenistic to early Islamic times. This multicultural city is described by Flavius Josephus as the 'ornament of all Galilee, ' and Rabbi Judah the Prince (ha-Nasi) codified the Mishnah there around 200 CE. The Duke University excavations of the 1980s and 1990s uncovered a large corpus of clay oil lamps in the domestic area of the western summit, and this volume presents these vessels. Richly illustrated with photos and drawings, it describes the various shape-types and includes a detailed catalog of 219 lamps. The volume also explores the origins of the Sepphoris lamps and establishes patterns of their trade, transport, and sale in the lower city's marketplace. A unique contribution is the use of a combined petrographic and direct current plasma-optical emission spectrometric (dcp-oes) analysis of selected lamp fabrics from sites in Israel and Jordan. This process provided valuable information, indicating that lamps found in Sepphoris came from Judea, the Decapolis, and even Greece, suggesting an urban community fully engaged with other regional centers. Lamp decorations also provide information about the cosmopolitan culture of Sepphoris in antiquity. Discus lamps with erotic scenes and mythological characters suggest Greco-Roman influences, and menorahs portrayed on lamps indicate a vibrant Jewish identity"--Provided by publisher.
