Pottery, both fragments and whole vessels, is ubiquitous in the archaeological record and provides insights into technological choices, shifting styles, food-related practices, economic relationships and many other aspects of past lifeways. This course focuses on how archaeologists collect, analyze, interpret and present information about pottery from diverse contexts across the globe. Students have the opportunity to conduct independent research on fragmentary and complete pottery vessels, and they also utilize ethnographic and historical studies of potters to expand the understanding of these practices today. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.

[CE] JR/SR only

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
