Klappentext zu „Oxford Handbooks / The Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Ceramic Analysis “
The Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Ceramic Analysis draws together topics and methodologies essential for the socio-cultural, mineralogical, and geochemical analysis of archaeological ceramic. Ceramic is one of the most complex and ubiquitous archaeomaterials in the archaeological record: it occurs around the world and through time in almost every culture and context, from building materials and technological installations to utilitarian wares and votivefigurines. For more than 100 years, archaeologists have used ceramic analysis to answer complex questions about economy, subsistence, technological innovation, social organization, and dating. The volume is structured around the themes 'Research design and data analysis', 'Foundational concepts', 'Evaluating ceramic provenance', 'Investigating ceramic manufacture', 'Assessing vessel function', and 'Dating ceramic assemblages'. It provides a common vocabulary and offers practical tools and guidelines for ceramic analysis using techniques and methodologies ranging from network analysis and typology to rehydroxylation dating and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Each chapterprovides the theoretical background and practical guidelines, such as cost and destructiveness of analysis, for each technique, as well as detailed case studies illustrating the application and interpretation of analytical data for answering anthropological questions.
Autoren-Porträt
Alice M. W. Hunt is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Center for Applied Isotope Studies, University of Georgia. Her PhD in Archaeological Materials Analysis (2012, UCL Institute of Archaeology) developed cathodoluminescence spectrometry of quartz as a method for differentiating raw material sources in fine-grained ceramics. Currently, her research focuses on developing analytical calibrations and protocols for bulk chemical characterization of culturalmaterials (ceramics, anthropogenic sediments, copper alloys, and obsidian) by portable XRF. Recent publications include 'Portable XRF analysis of archaeological sediments and ceramics' (Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015) and a forthcoming monograph Palace Ware across the Neo-Assyrian ImperialLandscape: Social Value and Semiotic Meaning (E.J. Brill, Leiden).

Pressezitat
Hunt's volume is unique among handbooks on archaeological ceramics and represents an important contribution to this field. The authors are to be thanked and commended for their participation in this major reference work. For ceramicists interested in exploring ancient technology, The Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Ceramic Analysis will doubtlessly serve as the go-to resource, especially when deciding which analytical techniques are best suited to address our individual research questions. Ann E. Killebrew, Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies
