Edited by Michael D. Glascock, Hector Neff, Kevin J. Vaughn

Hardback

Description

This cohesive edited volume showcases data collected from more than seven thousand ceramic artifacts including pottery, figurines, clay pipes, and other objects from sites across South America.

Covering a time span from 900 BC to AD 1500, the essays by leading archaeologists working in South America illustrate the diversity of ceramic provenance investigations taking place in seven different countries.

An introductory chapter provides a background for interpreting compositional data, and a final chapter offers a review of the individual projects.

Students, scholars, and researchers in archaeological study on the interactions between the indigenous peoples of South America and studies of their ceramics will find this volume an invaluable reference.
