The 1992 publication of Pottery Function brought together the
ethnographic study of the Kalinga and developed a method and theory
for how pottery was actually used. Since then, there have been
considerable advances in understanding how pottery was actually
used, particularly in the area of residue analysis, abrasion, and
sooting/carbonization. At the 20th anniversary of the book, it is
time to assess what has been done and learned. One of the concerns
of those working in pottery analysis is that they are unsure how to
"do" use-alteration analysis on their collection. Another common
concern is understanding intended pottery function-the connections
between technical choices and function. This book is designed to
answer these questions using case studies from the author and his
colleagues for applying use-alteration analysis to infer actual
pottery function. The focus of Understanding Pottery Function is on
how practicing archaeologists can infer function from their ceramic
collection.
