Section Description
The goal of this advanced laboratory course is to train you to analyze and interpret archaeological ceramics. Fired clay objects played a fundamental role in the ancient past, both as containers, meaningful objects, markers of identity, gifts, just to name a few. Pots—and specifically sherds—are a significant part of the archaeological record across the globe. The ability to interpret and analyze ceramics is essential to understanding past lives. Both the interpretive and analytical skills you gain in this course will help you understand the broader materiality of the human experience.
