About this title

From the Author

See a review in the April 1997 issue of American Antiquity!
Judith Habicht-Mauche, an archaeologist and specialist in ancient pottery at UC-Santa Cruz, reviewed this book in the journal American Antiquity [62(2):382-83]. She writes: "Overall, this is an excellent volume, handsomely published. All of the contributions are of high quality, written by leading or emerging experts in their field. It is a must-read for anyone interested in early pottery studies. The work also has a broader relevance for anyone interested in the distinct, but interrelated, processes of food production, sedentism, and the role of inequality and power in small- to medium-scale societies."
