Ceramic Variety, Type Cluster, and Ceramic System in Southwestern Pottery Analysis
Prehistoric pottery analysis and the ceramics of Barton Ramie in the Belize Valley
Preclassic Ceramics from Chalchuapa, El Salvador, and Their Relationships with the Maya Lowlands
Application of the type-variety analytical procedure to Preclassic ceramic material excavated from mound-fill deposits at Chalchuapa, El Salvador, has provided important indications of possible ceramic relationships between this site-zone and the Maya Lowlands. Of the five ceramic complexes, the earliest (the Tok ceramic complex) seems related to the Early Preclassic (Cuadros phase) of south coastal Guatemala and Mexico. Pottery of the early Midd…

The Type-Variety Method of Ceramic Classification as an Indicator of Cultural Phenomena
This discussion deals with the theoretical reasoning that underlies the type-variety method of ceramic analysis. Not only do pottery 'types' and 'varieties' embody sets of recognizably distinct attributes and impart particular cultural, areal, and temporal connotations, but they are also meaningful entities of cultural interpretation.1.'Varieties' that have been tested by continued close study and by increases in knowledge concerning their nature…
The Type-Variety Concept as a Basis for the Analysis of Maya Pottery
The method being used to analyze pottery from Uaxactún and Barton Ramie by the application of the type-variety concept is offered as an analytical approach well suited to the classification of Maya ceramics. Types and varieties are seen as the best archaeological approximation of the ceramic abstractions which existed in the prehistoric cultural configuration. The systematic application of the type-variety concept will make it possible to establi…
Ceramic Variety, Type Cluster, and Ceramic System in Southwestern Pottery Analysis
During the past 20 years, the number of named pottery types in the Southwest has increased at such a rate that it is now virtually impossible for an archaeologist to know and be familiar with more than a small percentage of them. Some of these types are totally new, but a surprisingly large number represent refinements in terminology or segregations from more inclusive categories, resulting from further study and increasingly complex technologica…
Point of Pines Phase Sequence and Utility Pottery Type Revisions
The University of Arizona Archaeological Field School under the joint auspices of the Arizona State Museum and the Department of Anthropology has been in operation for over 10 years. During the course of this longterm archaeological program several reports concerning Point of Pines archaeology have appeared. As a result of work since the publication of these reports, certain changes are justified in the phase sequence and in the terminology as it…
