Although the subject of pottery would appear to the layman to be one of complicated formulas and difficult technical requirements, it is possible to reduce the on- tire porcedure to a series of simple, logical processes. To do this is the purpose for which this thesis has been undertaken. It seems advisable to reduce the entire subject of elementary pottery to fifteen lessons, for two reasons. (1) The instructor who must teach the subject in one se- mester of eighteen weeks will be enabled by this plan to cover the subject logically and completely if she will adhere to the divisions which have been made. This will give ample time for outside work, tests, etc. (2) The craftsman who wishes to express himself in one more medium, or the home-maker who merely desires the diversion of self-expression, will find the directions, given in this logical sequence, so clear and untechnical that he cannot fail, with sufficient practice, to achieve definite results.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the operational equipment in current use at the Marshall Pottery Company and make a comparison of this equipment and modern, up-to-date equipment available and in use by other manufacturers. An attempt was made to formulate a long-range plan for developing and modernizing basic production processes and facilities at the Marshall Pottery Company.

Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was used for this study of stonewares collected from the site of the Buena Vista/Oregon Pottery Company (1866-1890). The results show significant chemical signatures in the samples tested. Thorium/ytterbium and thorium/chromium ratios within their respective ranges of variation demonstrate a relative conformity among all samples of Buena Vista ceramics.
