Early ceramics have often been unexpected by-products of projects focusing upon much earlier aceramic or later prehistoric periods. In recent years, however, there has been a tremendous increase in research in various parts of West Asia focusing explicitly on this theme. It has generally become accepted that the adoption of pottery in West Asia happened relatively late in the history of ceramics. Several regions are now believed to have developed pottery significantly earlier. Thus, pottery occurs in Eastern Russia, in China and Japan by 16,500 cal. BC and in north Africa it is known in the 10th millennium cal. BC.However, while the East Asian examples in particular do mark chronologically earlier instances, the picture in West Asia is actually rather more complex, in part because of the tyranny of the Aceramic/Ceramic Neolithic chronological divide. For the first time, The Emergence of Pottery in West Asia examines in detail the when, where, how and why of the arrival of the first pottery in the region. A key insight that emerges is that we must not confuse the reasons for pottery adoption with the long-term consequences. Neolithic peoples in West Asia did not adopt pottery because of the many uses and functions it would gain many centuries later and the development of ceramic technology needs to be examined in the context of its original cultural and social milieu. 650 0 $a Pottery $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Neolithic period $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Neolithic period. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035813 650 7 $a Pottery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073579 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 650 7 $a Keramik $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4030270-2 651 7 $a Alter Orient $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4001451-4 651 7 $a Naher Osten $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4068878-1 700 1 $a Tsuneki, Akira, $d 1954- $e editor. 700 1 $a Nieuwenhuyse, Olivier, $e editor. 700 1 $a Campbell, Stuart $c (Archaeologist), $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024816.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7FDFB33E840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
