  • Sourcing Chihuahuan Polychrome Ceramics

    Open Access•Daniela Triadan, Eduardo Gamboa Carrera et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Antiquity•2018

    Traditionally, the wide distribution of distinctive Chihuahuan polychrome ceramics has been interpreted as evidence for the extensive interaction sphere of Casas Grandes, or Paquime. The role of the major center of Paquime in the political and economic system is a crucial question in defining the nature and intensity of interactions in the Casas Grandes region and the extent of intraregional social and political integration. A large-scale, region…

  • Late Classic (A.D. 600–900) Maya Market Exchange

    C T Halperin, Ronald L Bishop et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Field Archaeology•2009•Citada por: 11•Referências: 45

    Archaeologists studying ancient state societies often divide political economic models into separate prestige goods and subsistence goods systems. For the Maya during the Late Classic period (ca. A.D. 600–900), scholars have suggested that the elite centrally controlled the production and circulation of prestige goods while local communities and households were responsible for subsistence goods manufacture and exchange, which operated in a largel…

  • The Smithsonian–nist Partnership

    Open Access•M James Blackman, Ronald L Bishop•ARTICLE•Archaeometry•2007•Citada por: 7•Referências: 17

    The history and procedures of the Smithsonian–NIST programme in the application of instrumental neutron activation to the study of archaeological materials are reviewed. Statistical processing of the resulting analytical data is a major focus of the programme, with attention called to processes of initial group formation. Specific areas of current research emphasis are presented, which build upon the strength of accumulated databases

  • Methodological Issues in the Provenance Investigation of Early Formative Mesoamerican Ceramics

    Open Access•Hector Neff, Jeffrey P Blomster et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Antiquity•2006•Citada por: 48•Referências: 34

    A recent study of Early Formative Mesoamerican pottery by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) yielded surprising results that prompted two critiques in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    We are glad that Sharer et al. (this issue) have dropped their original claim that the INAA data demonstrate multidirectional movement of Early Formative pottery. Beyond this, however, they offer nothing that might enhance understanding of Early Formative ceramic circulation or inspire new insights into Early Formative cultural evolution in Mesoamerica. Instead, their response contains fresh distortions, replications of mistakes made in their PNA…

    The production of glazed fritware (artificial paste bodied) ceramics in medieval Syria is examined in the light of neutron activation analysis of an excavated sample from the site of Gritille. Reevaluation casts doubt on two main commonplaces of Islamic ceramic history: 1) the decorative technique of lustering, used on some of these fritwares, was highly restricted; and 2) the production of such luxury ceramics in the medieval Islamic world in ge…

    Robert C Henrickson, M James Blackman•ARTICLE•Paléorient•1996•Citada por: 10•Referências: 1

    Analysis of the pottery production technology has suggested large-scale production of pottery in both the Late Bronze Age (1400-1200 ВС) and Early Phrygian (ca 950-700 ВС) periods at Gordion (Turkey). Chemical characterization of both pottery and local clay samples has defined markedly different patterns of resource use in the two periods, suggesting a different geographic scale in the economy as Gordion s socio-political and economic roles chang…

  • An Assessment of the Acid-Extraction Approach to Compositional Characterization of Archaeological Ceramics

  • The Standardization Hypothesis and Ceramic Mass Production

    Open Access•M James Blackman, Gil J Stein et al.•ARTICLE•American Antiquity•1993•Citada por: 41•Referências: 21

    Archaeologists often use measurements of standardization in ceramics as evidence for specialized craft production. Analysis of fine-ware bowl kiln wasters from the urban center of Leilan, Syria (ca. 2300 B.C.) provides a rare opportunity to test the standardization hypothesis against the archaeological record of a single production event. Scanning-electron microscopy, xeroradiography, neutron activation, and metric analyses of the wasters show ex…

    Open Access•Hector Neff, Jeffrey P Blomster et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Antiquity•2006•Citada por: 35•Referências: 36

    We are glad that Sharer et al. (this issue) have dropped their original claim that the INAA data demonstrate multidirectional movement of Early Formative pottery. Beyond this, however, they offer nothing that might enhance understanding of Early Formative ceramic circulation or inspire new insights into Early Formative cultural evolution in Mesoamerica. Instead, their response contains fresh distortions, replications of mistakes made in their PNA…

    Archaeologists studying ancient state societies often divide political economic models into separate prestige goods and subsistence goods systems. For the Maya during the Late Classic period (ca. A.D. 600–900), scholars have suggested that the elite centrally controlled the production and circulation of prestige goods while local communities and households were responsible for subsistence goods manufacture and exchange, which operated in a largel…

    Se ha dedicado considerable actividad arqueo1ógica a los sucesos que condujeron al despoblamientode los centros dvicos y religiosos del area maya central. Las causas hipotéticas del llamado "colapso" frecuentemente recurren a Ia idea de invasores de la costa del Golfo de México que arrasaron los pueblos asentados sobre el cauce superior del Usumacinta. Los estudios de la composición de las pastas cerámicas por activación neutrónica han concentrad…
