Description: In the past two decades, the study of ancient trade and exchange has attracted the attention of archaeologists as never before. Despite a long-standing interest in ceramics as cultural markers, the study of the economic role of pottery is still in its infancy. <i>Ceramic Production and Distribution</i> presents the archaeologist with approaches for investigating the economics of pottery in preindustrial societies. The expert contributors exemplify this in a wide variety of social and economic contexts, ranging from the tribal Iroquois to the Imperial Romans and modern peasant societies. The chapters also demonstrate the major techniques for analyzing pottery production and distribution in the archaeological record. The original papers collected in <i>Ceramic Production and Distribution: An Integrated Approach</i> make a valuable contribution to prehistoric economic studies. Contents: Bey, George J.
