Ceramic variability of Shang society at Huanbei in Anyang, ChinaFong, Denise Catalina 11 1900 (has links)
The study of ceramic variability in Chinese archaeology is conventionally understood in
the context of temporal and regional differences, where emphasis is placed on explaining
variability in terms of identifying regional styles and long-term changes. In this thesis, I
examine ceramic variability of Shang pottery between two contiguous daily-use contexts at
Huanbei, a Middle Shang period (1400-1250 BCE) site located in the Central Plains of China.
Based on the analysis of pottery sherds collected from daily-use contexts at Hanwangdu (HWD)
and Huyuanzhuang (HYZ), I argue that ceramics collected within a single-site context can be
highly varied and distinct due to differences in use-context. Assemblage differences and ceramic
variation are evaluated according to rim sherd attributes including vessel shape, rim and lip
shape, dimensional properties, and surface treatment styles. Possible interpretive models for
explaining observed patterns of variability are presented.
Results of this study suggest that siginificant variability in pottery vessel design can be
observed in the samples examined from the Huanbei site. Consumers from the HWD (a palace
context) consumed a greater variety of pottery vessel types but with a
more limited range of shapes and decorative styles. In contrast, consumers from HYZ (a non-palatial context) consumed a limited range of pottery vessel types but with a greater variability in the range of shapes and decoration. The observed patterns of variation reinforce current assumptions regarding the contextual differences between HWD and HYZ, and also provide new insight into the differential pottery consumption patterns by different social classes at Huanbei. Results of this study indicate the potential value of studying intra-site ceramic variation in Chinese archaeology and its importance in creating new knowledge on the material consumption behavior of different social classes.

Arqueologia Guarani e experimental no Baixo Paranapanema Paulista: o estudo dos sítios arqueológicos Lagoa Seca, Pernilongo, Aguinha e Ragil II / Guarani and Experimental Archaeology in the lower Paranapanema Paulista, the study of archaeological sites Lagoa Seca, Pernilongo, Aguinha and Ragil IIBaco, Hiuri Marcel di 10 May 2012 (has links)
Esta pesquisa apresenta alguns resultados do trabalho realizado com Arqueologia experimental sobre a tecnologia cerâmica Guarani, especificamente, com o acabamento de superfície da cerâmica corrugada, ungulada, espatulada, serrungulada e nodulada da área do Baixo Paranapanema Paulista. A experiência com os testes experimentais nos permitiu avaliar algumas das capacidades cognitivas que envolvem o trabalho do (a) ceramista, bem como demonstrar alguns aspectos da técnica de confecção da cerâmica relacionados com as escolhas dos indivíduos ceramistas que podem ter gerado a variabilidade cerâmica nos tipos de acabamento plástico de superfície externa. Além disso, comparamos o material arqueológico e a paisagem do Sítio Lagoa Seca com a de outros três sítios da Região do Baixo Paranapanema Paulista, para tentarmos contribuir com o entendimento do \"Sistema Regional de Ocupação Guarani\" da área do Projeto Paranapanema. / This study presents some results of work carried out on experimental archeology Guarani ceramic technology, specifically with the surface finish of ceramic corrugada, ungulada, spatulada, nodulada and serrungulada of Baixo Paranapanema Paulista. The experience with experimental tests allowed us to evaluate some of the cognitive abilities that involve the work of potter as well as demonstrate some aspects of the art of making pottery related to the choices of individuals potters who may have generated the variability in ceramic types finishing plastic of external surface. Furthermore, we compare the archaeological remains and landscape Site Lagoa Seca with the other three sites in the Baixo Paranapanema Paulista Region, to try to contribute to the understanding of the \"Sistema Regional de Ocupação Guarani\" of the Projeto Paranapanema.
