Anthropologists often use the term “artisan” to describe skilled makers of crafts. The work of artisans is ordinarily distinguished from both the creations of “artists” and the production of objects in factories. Archaeologists have conducted detailed studies of the evolution of craft specialization and the techniques associated with the creation of diverse material objects used in daily activities and rituals. Before the mid‐1970s, most anthropological research on artisans examined their techniques, their organization of work, and the role of crafts in economic and ceremonial life. Since the 1970s, many anthropologists have also looked at the ways in which local crafts have been transformed or invented in order to be sold in regional, national, and international markets
