“…Winters are long, cold, and dark, and summers are wet, windy, and cool. The problems such conditions would have posed for pottery manufacture and how Arctic potters might have manipulated their manufacturing technology in response to these challenges have been discussed at length elsewhere (Frink and Harry 2008; Harry et al 2009; Zhushchikhovskaya 2005). We will not reenumerate all of those challenges here, except to note that the inclement weather would have made it extremely difficult both to construct and to fire ceramics.…”

“…Use of ceramic vessels in the Arctic was confined to the western coast of Alaska and to a small strip of the northern Canadian coastline (see Figure 1) as well as to the northeastern coast of Siberia (Zhushchikhovskaya 2005). Because of the relative paucity of archaeological and ethnographic information for Siberia, however, most of the data contained in this article derives from the Alaskan regions.…”

The Arctic Cooking Pot: Why Was It Adopted?

Cross-culturally, clay cooking pots are correlated with societies situated in warm and dry climates and reliant on foods that benefit from prolonged moist cooking. Neither of these conditions, however, characterized the aboriginal coastal Arctic, where clay cooking containers were produced and used for more than 2,500 years. We explore the factors that encouraged pottery use in the Arctic and conclude that the adoption of cooking pots resulted from the interplay of social and functional factors. We propose that it was adopted (1) to meet the needs of socially constructed preferences for cooked foods and (2) to overcome specific problems associated with other cooking methods within the local social and environmental context. We demonstrate the importance of adopting an integrated perspective in the study of technology-one that considers how cultural values and social practices interact with environmental and economic factors to shape technological decisions.

“…So far, important sites from the Ust'-Karenga culture east of Baikal, as well as the Gromatuha culture in the Amur River Valley and the Osipovka culture, have all been considered as yielding evidence for pottery tempered with vegetable fibre (Zhushchikhovskaya 1997), though recent analyses suggest that the vegetal 'temper' seen in pottery from the Ust'-Karenga Site, around 11,200 BP, is of natural origin (Hommel et al 2017). The fibre-tempered pottery remains from the early stages of the three above-mentioned cultures and the ones from Houtaomuga phase I date to similar periods.…”

The appearance of the oldest pottery in the world is a major focus of Early Neolithic archaeology. So far, most discoveries of early pottery have occurred in South China, North China, the Russian Far East, Japan and Korea. The discovery of very thick, low-fired, fibre-tempered pottery dated from around 10,000 BP at the Houtaomuga Site, in Jilin Province, fills an important gap in the distribution of early pottery in northeast China. Based on multidisciplinary research and an important series of dates, this article establishes the chronology of the early pottery remains discovered at the Houtaomuga Site and their morphological and technical characteristics, and sheds light on their function. Finally, the authors compare them to the other early pottery sherds discovered in the surrounding region, and throughout East Asia, in order to discuss the significance of this discovery and its implications for the subsistence mode developed in the northwest of the Jilin Province at the very beginning of the Neolithic.

En este artículo proponemos una discusión sobre la construcción de modelos de análisis metodológico de la cerámica centrados en el establecimiento de colecciones de referencia. A modo de ejemplo, exponemos nuestra propuesta para estudiar el modelado a partir del análisis de los patrones de fractura. Para ello, hemos establecido una estrategia experimental sobre cerámicas etnográficas y reproducciones fabricadas con diferentes técnicas. De este modo, hemos evaluado la fiabilidad de nuestra propuesta metodológica para el estudio de cerámicas arqueológicas y hemos construido un marco referencial que da mayor solidez a nuestras interpretaciones. Palabras clave: modelado; traceología; arqueología experimental; etnografía Abstract. Etnoarchaeology as experimentation: a proposal for the interpretation of fracture patterns This article discusses the generation of methodological models for ceramic analysis focused on the creation of reference collections. It is exemplified with our studies of pottery-making based on the identification of fracture patters. Hence, we developed an experimental strategy using ethnographic pottery and reproductions built with different techniques. In this way it was possible to test the reliability of our methodological strategy to study archaeological pottery and establish a referential framework which further supports our interpretations.
