The 23 papers presented here are the product of the
interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches to the study of
kitchen pottery between archaeologists, material scientists,
historians and ethnoarchaeologists. They aim to set a vital but
long-neglected category of evidence in its wider social, political
and economic contexts. Structured around main themes concerning
technical aspects of pottery production; cooking as socio-economic
practice; and changing tastes, culinary identities and
cross-cultural encounters, a range of social economic and
technological models are discussed on the basis of insights gained
from the study of kitchen pottery production, use and evolution.
Much discussion and work in the last decade has focussed on
technical and social aspects of coarse ware and in particular
kitchen ware. The chapters in this volume contribute to this
debate, moving kitchen pottery beyond the Binfordian 'technomic'
category and embracing a wider view, linking processualism,
ceramic-ecology, behavioural schools, and ethnoarchaeology to
research on historical developments and cultural transformations
covering a broad geographical area of the Mediterranean region and
spanning a long chronological sequence.
