Interpreting silent artefacts : petrographic approaches to archaeological ceramics /
:
This volume presents a range of petrographic case studies as applied to archaeological problems, primarily in the field of pottery analysis, i.e. ceramic petrography. Petrographic analysis involves using polarising optical microscopy to examine microstructures and the compositions of rock and mineral inclusions in thin section, and has become a widely used technique within archaeological science. The results of these analyses are commonly embedded in regionally specific reports and research papers. In this volume, however, the analytical method takes centre stage and the common theme is its application in different archaeological contexts.

Thin section petrography, geochemistry & scanning electron microscopy of archaeological ceramics /
:
Thin section petrography, geochemistry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction are key scientific methods used to investigate the raw materials, origins and production technology of archaeological pottery, ceramic building materials, ancient refractories and plaster. Using over 400 colour figures of a diverse range of artefact types and archaeological periods from 50 countries worldwide, this book outlines the mineralogical, chemical and microstructural composition of ancient ceramics and provides comprehensive guidelines for their scientific study within archaeology. The core of the book is dedicated to the versatile approach of ceramic petrography. This is complimented by a detailed account of the principles of bulk instrumental geochemistry, as well as the SEM microanalysis and XRD characterisation of ceramics.

The ancient Mediterranean trade in ceramic building materials : a case study in Carthage and Beirut /
:
This study addresses the level of interregional trade of ceramic building material (CBM), traditionally seen as a high bulk low value commodity, within the ancient Mediterranean between the third century BC and the seventh century AD. It examines the impact of different modes of production, distribution and consumption of CBM and how archaeological assemblages differ from what is predicted by current models of the ancient economy. It also explores how CBM can be used to investigate cultural identity and urban form.

Contribution of ceramic technological approaches to the anthropology and archaeology of pre- and protohistoric societies = apport des approches technologiques de la céramique à l'a...
:
The reconstruction of the technical systems of ceramic production and of its 'chaâne opératoire' is a means of exploring certain social structures in time and space. Papers here highlight the contribution of technological approaches to ceramics, both in archaeology and in ethnology, to the analysis of pre- and protohistoric societies.

The Fayoum Survey Project : The Themistou Meris: Volume B: The Ceramological Survey
:
This volume accompanies Volume A which presents the archaeological survey of the sites of the Themistou Meris (north-western Fayoum), by giving a thorough introduction to the pottery found during the survey.
The great doyen of the pottery of the Graeco-Roman period in Egypt, the late Donald M. Bailey, did not live to see his volume in print. His legacy is an exemplary study of forms and materials of the different kinds of ceramic vessels, from amphorae to cooking-pots and from coarse kitchen ware to fine table ware. The book is rounded up by two short essays, which add up-to-date information on the pottery found in the Themistou Meris as well as in other districts of the Fayoum.

Les amphores Lamboglia 2 de production adriatique et campanienne : une étude à partir des épaves Qaitbay 1 (Alexandrie) et Sa Nau Perduda (Catalogne) /
:
Les Lamboglia 2 figurent parmi les amphores italiques les plus largement produites a l'epoques tardo-republicaine. Cet ouvrage revient de maniere synthetique sur leur production, leur typologie et leur diffusion, en dressant notamment un inventaire des epaves concernees. Il aborde egalement ces questions au travers de l'etude de plusieurs d'entre elles. Celle de Qaitbay 1, stuee au large d'Alexandrie, transportait majoritairement des formes dites tardives, issues des ateliers adriatiques, ainsi que plusieurs Lamboglia 2 campaniennes. Cer dernieres amphores composent l'essentiel du chargement de l'epave de Sa Nau Perduda, situee dans la region de Gerone. Elle est presentee ici en detail, de meme que plusieurs autres exemples ou ces productions ont ete documentees"--back cover

Die vermeintlich pergamenische Importkeramik in Ephesos : Studien zur Typologie, Provenienz und Herstellungstechnik von so genannter Weißgrundiger Ware, Applikenkeramik und Pergame...
:
This text presents comparative studies of three ceramic ware groups found at Ephesos (modern day Turkey): Appliqué Ware, White-grounded ware and Pergamene Sigillata. Until now they were considered to be products made in and imported from Pergamon, but intensive archaeometrical analysis demonstrate that they were produced locally.
