Upper Paleolithic ceramic figurines and similarities to some late Pleistocene pigment and pottery materials and technologies of Eurasia
Lead-glazing technology from Medieval Central Asia
Of the sea and volcano
Local production and long-distance trade of Islamic glazed ceramics in Central Asia
Using Optical Coherence Tomography to Examine the Subsurface Morphology of Chinese Glazes
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new method for ceramics research, is a nondestructive, three‐dimensional tomography system, which provides subsurface morphology visualization of samples based on the refractive index or dielectric constant differences in the target specimen. In this study, seven shards from different Chinese kilns of Song and Yuan dynasties (10–14th centuries) were scanned to visualize the subsurface morphology of their glaz…
Thermoluminescence Dating of a Crucible Fragment From an Early Tin Processing Site in Turkey
Archaeological exploration in the Taurus mountains at Göltepe in south‐central Turkey has uncovered a site indicating the presence of extensive tin ore mining and smelling operations The most recent find of smelting crucible fragments allowed for a thermoluminescence‐hased age determination spanning a late fifth to early third millennium BC date. This result is consistent with a number of radiocarbon dates derived for charcoal also found at the s…
The Standardization Hypothesis and Ceramic Mass Production
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…
"Reply to J. D. Muhly, "Early Bronze Age Tin and the Taurus
This response to J. D. Muhly's essay (supra pp. 239–53) focuses on a series of key issues that have arisen concerning the chronology, technology, and archaeological context in which prehistoric metallurgy developed. Additional radiocarbon dates and information on EBA ceramics from soundings in the Kestel mine are presented, which are relevant to the dating of the operations. The tin-bronze industry at Tarsus and the question of "intentionality" i…
Tin Processing at Göltepe, an Early Bronze Age Site in Anatolia
This paper presents the archaeological contexts and results of analyses of slags, surface residues, and earthenware refractories from the third-millennium B. C. site of Göltepe in south-central Turkey. These materials are only part of a workshop/habitation assemblage at the site, which also includes ore nodules, multifaceted molds, and metal fragments as well as groundstone tools utilized in ore dressing and beneficiation. Twenty-four ceramic fra…
Materials Issues in Art and Archaeology II
The Origins of Ceramic Technology at Dolni Věstonice, Czechoslovakia
A typology was established for more than 5000 ceramic artifacts at Dolni Vestonice, Czechoslovakia. Conjectured methods of manufacture were confirmed by radiography. The compositions and mineralogy of the artifacts were identical to those of the local soil, loess. A firing temperature range of 500° to 800°C was measured and compared with those of hearths and kilns. The mechanism of sintering was impurity-initiated, liquid-phase sintering. Many fr…

The Beginnings of Pyrotechnology, Part II
Characterization techniques of modern materials science have been used to extend a prior study (W. H. Gourdin and W. D. Kingery, "The Beginnings of Pyrotechnology: Neolithic and Egyptian Lime Plaster," Journal of Field Archaeology 2 [1975]: 133–50) of plaster materials and their processing in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (ca. 7200–6000 B.C.). The "invention" of lime plaster can be traced back to at least the Epi-PaleolithicGeometric Kebaran (ca. 12,…
Sequential Slab Construction; A Conservative Southwest Asiatic Ceramic Tradition, ca. 7000-3000 B.C
Afin de saisir les techniques de fabrication et de production de la poterie utilisées entre 7000 et 3000 avant J.-C, dans le Zagros, région montagneuse du Sud-Ouest asiatique, et afin de spécifier les modes de changement technologique, il fut procédé à l'examen macroscopique de 40 000 fragments et à l'analvse des microstructures de 4 000 tessons. Pour mieux évaluer tant la rapidité des changements technologiques observés que le rôle de certains f…
