Archaeologists have been developing artifact typologies to
understand cultural categories for as long as the discipline has
existed. Dwight Read examines these attempts to systematize the
cultural domains in premodern societies through a historical study
of pottery typologies. He then offers a methodology for producing
classifications that are both salient to the cultural groups that
produced them and relevant for establishing cultural categories and
timelines for the archaeologist attempting to understand the
relationship between material culture and ideational culture of
ancient societies. This volume is valuable to upper level students
and professional archaeologists across the discipline.
