Ceramic Traditions and Cultural Territories. New directions for southern Mesopotamian pottery studies (en Inglés) - Angelo Di Michele;Sara Pizzimenti;Steve Renette

This volume brings together ten contributions focused on the study of the pottery of southern Mesopotamia in the third and second millennia BCE. Three papers take a critical look at how pottery has been investigated, and present innovative ways of approaching the study of ceramics. Four site-based studies follow,  demonstrating the ongoing need for detailed studies of site assemblages to identify meaningful patterns in space and time. The final two papers present materials from site surveys in southern Mesopotamia.

The aim of the volume is to encourage further discussion on the ceramics of southern Mesopotamia, with a focus on the development of new strategies and methods that can offer innovative viewpoints for examining and exploring these pottery assemblages.
