The Oneota who lived in large farming communities in the La Crosse locality from apPl"()~im(itely A.D. 1300 to 1625 are recognized by the characteristic ceramics tl1e¥ pfodllced. They manufactured shell-tempered ceramic vessels. that were much larger(indmore finely made than the grit-:-tempered pottery of the Woodland culturesthat inhabited Wisconsin prior to A.D. 1300.

In this paper we propose an image-based pottery shape and school identification and classification system for an unknown pottery or fragment. This system is designed to assist archaeologists and students to identify and record objects quickly and accurately. We present several image retrieval and computer vision techniques and describe their applications within the domain of archaeological stud...

This thesis is an examination of the evidence for Dark-age and Viking-age pottery in the Hebrides. A brief discussion of current knowledge of Hebridean ceramics shows how unusually ceramic-rich this area is in comparison with the rest of Scotland and much of the British Isles. But the Dark Age and Viking Age in the Hebrides and the pottery of those periods are very poorly known. The excavation ...

The study of pottery can be used to provide insight into past cultures. Pottery is ubiquitous on archaeological sites in the Near East and because of its durability; fragments often survive longer than artifacts made from less-durable materials. This study addresses the use of pottery to answer the question: Were Mesopotamia and Elam trading partners from 3000 to 2500 B.C.? Located in present d...

undoubtedly, pottery is among the most important information types that can help understand societies and cultures better. despite introducing pottery known as sultān abād and its classification over the last few decades, very limited information has been published so far on the origin of its type and about archeological sites containing them. the main reason for this seems to be that container...

Dust exposure and pneumoconiosis were investigated in a South African pottery that manufactured wall tiles and bathroom fittings. This paper describes the objectives of the investigation and presents dust measurement data. x Ray diffraction showed that the clays used by the pottery had a high quartz content (range 58%-23%, mean 38%). Exposure to respirable dust was measured for 43 workers and w...
