Synopsis
A Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication
Among southeastern Indians pottery was an innovation that enhanced the economic value of native foods and the efficiency of food preparation. But even though pottery was available in the Southeast as early as 4,500 years ago, it took nearly two millenia before it was widely used. Why would an innovation of such economic value take so long to be adopted?
The answer lies in the social and political contexts of traditional cooking technology. Sassaman's book questions the value of using technological traits alone to mark temporal and spatial boundaries of prehistoric cultures and shows how social process shapes the prehistoric archaeological record.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Among southeastern Indians pottery was an innovation that enhanced the economic value of native foods and the efficiency of food preparation. But even though pottery was available in the Southeast as early as 4,500 years ago, it took nearly two millennia before it was widely used. Why would an innovation of such economic value take so long to be adopted? The answer lies in the social and political contexts of traditional cooking technology Sassaman's book questions the value of using technological traits alone to mark temporal and spatial boundaries of prehistoric cultures and shows how social process shapes the prehistoric archaeological record. "Early Pottery in the Southeast will be a valuable addition to the growing literature on initial pottery use in the Southeast, but what is more important, this book addresses the eco-nomic and social contexts for the development and spread of this technological innovation. No other work addresses the subject in such detail or with the emphasis on social relations and social variation as a factor in the spread of early ceramic use throughout the Coastal Plain and adjacent Mid-South." ?David H. Dye Memphis State University "A valuable contribution to southeastern archaeological literature. It is rewarding to see that southeastern ceramicists have moved beyond the sherd- and attribute-counting stage. Sassaman's ideas on why and how early ceramics diffused across the Gulf Coastal Plain will provide archaeologists with food for thought for years to come." ?Ned J Jenkins Alabama Historical Commission.
