This volume adopts a practice-based approach to examine the
different ways in which classification is communicated and
negotiated in different environments within archaeology. The book
looks specifically at the archaeological classification of ceramics
as a lens through which to examine the discursive and social
practices inherent in the classification and categorization
process, with perspectives from such areas as corpus linguistics,
discourse analysis, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology
forming the foundation of the book's theoretical framework. The
volume then looks at the process of classification in practice in a
variety of settings, including a university course on ceramics
classification, an archaeological field school, an intensive
petrography course, and archaeometry laboratory at a nuclear
research reactor, and highlights participant observation and
audiovisual data taken from fieldwork practice completed in these
environments. This volume offers a valuable contribution to the
growing literature on language and material culture, making this a
key resource for students and scholars in sociolinguistic,
anthropological linguistics, archaeology, discourse analysis, and
anthropology.
