The analysis and interpretation of ceramic remains allow archaeologists to accomplish varied ends: establish dates and chronologies, document interconnections between different areas, and suggest the function and status of people and places. The techniques and theories used to bridge the gap between the recovery of ceramics and their interpretation within anthropological contexts are the focus of this seminar.
