excellent introduction to ceramics in archaeology June 13, 2001
6 out of 9 found this review helpful

orton and friends take the reader through all the aspects of the most common archaeological find: the pot sherd. at the end, you will know how to classify any random bit of ceramic you come across.

the book is very well written; it's amazing how the rather dry subject comes alive. very much a "practical knowledge" sort of read.

every serious dig should have one in their field house.
