Throughout prehistory the Circumpolar World was inhabited by
hunter-gatherers. Pottery-making would have been extremely
difficult in these cold, northern environments, and the craft
should never have been able to disperse into this region. However,
archaeologists are now aware that pottery traditions were adopted
widely across the Northern World and went on to play a key role in
subsistence and social life. This book sheds light on the human
motivations that lay behind the adoption of pottery, the challenges
that had to be overcome in order to produce it, and the solutions
that emerged. Including essays by an international team of
scholars, the volume offers a compelling portrait of the role that
pottery cooking technologies played in northern lifeways, both in
the prehistoric past and in more recent ethnographic times.
