AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This brief article presents a cautionary note to ceramic archaeologists to avoid spending an undue amount of emphasis on the classification, definition, and description of pottery types based on the physical appearance of the sherds alone without also submitting the samples to rigid typological studies under pottery work-shop or laboratory conditions.
