Bridging Ethnoarchaeology and Archaeology in the Ethiopian Gamo Highlands
This article is a case study that applies long-term ceramic ethnoarchaeology to recent archaeological research in the Gamo region of Ethiopia. The region is located on the western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. Today, an important cultural characteristic of the Gamo is their caste system. They divide society into occupational castes including Mala farmers and Tsoma artisans who are segregated in their access to land and food resources. Work…

Hide and meat among Boreda hideworkers
Seniority through ancestral landscapes
This article focuses on our collaboration with the Boreda of southern Ethiopia to document the ways in which their cultural heritage knowledge is entwined with Ochollo Mulato, one of their nine tangible senior ancestral landscapes or Bayira Deriya. Through the interface between oral traditions, life histories, and the archaeological record, we grew increasingly aware of the descendant community’s wide range of alternative but equally valid memori…

Additional informationNotes on contributorsJohn W. ArthurJohn W. Arthur is associate professor of anthropology at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. His research in Ethiopia started in 1995, focusing on ceramic ethnoarchaeology and regarding how social stratification can be distinguished by household pottery. His recent research continues in southern Ethiopia, encompassing archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, oral history and oral traditio…
Social change and the evolution of ceramic production and distribution in a Maya community - By Dean E. Arnold
Understanding Household Population through Ceramic Assemblage Formation
The goal of this paper is to identify the relationship between ceramic assemblages and household population. This ethnoarchaeological study among the Gamo of southwestern Ethiopia focuses on three villages and the relationship between household population and the ceramic life cycle and vessel uselife. The life cycle analysis in combination with vessel function reveals that household population could be interpreted from vessel frequency and volume…
Ethnoarchaeology, Pottery, and Technology
Excerpt: "This essay reviews three books related to the field of archaeology that are specifically concerned with ethnoarchaeology, pottery, and the anthropolog of technology" (p.359)
Pottery Use-Alteration as an Indicator of Socioeconomic Status
Application of laboratory‐derived criteria to an outdoor stream ecosystem
Field assessments of laboratory‐derived water quality criteria were conducted in 520 meter long outdoor experimental streams located in Central Minnesota, USA. This report presents an overview of the published studies, the objective was to evaluate the level of protection offered to aquatic stream populations by laboratory‐derived criteria. Eight pollutants were tested from 1976 to 1984; duration of pollutant additions lasted from 12 to 75 weeks.…
