Abstract Details

2010, Master of Liberal Studies, University of Toledo, College of Arts and Sciences.
This paper considers in some detail the technology, use and meaning of prehistoric pottery vessels. This paper has a cumulative focus on “prehistoric” pottery vessels as whole, rather than on those pots found in a specific culture, or dating to a specific time period. As such, issues of pottery production, function and meaning are constrained in their foci. The analysis conducted here establishes that production of pottery was available in all cultures and across continents – even though the “clay” used would not be the same in all locations. In this paper I intend to prove that prehistoric societies developed sophisticated technologies of pottery manufacture and integrated the resulting vessels within networks that operated in their everyday lives.
