This book presents up-to-date perspectives on pre-farming innovations through material practices, resource intensification, and emerging technologies, particularly pottery manufacture. It includes original studies on the earliest pottery productions among foragers from different parts of the world based on first-hand excavations and laboratory analyses. Its broad geographic scope includes Northern and Central Europe, Eastern Asia (different regions in China), Northern, Western, and Southern Africa, and southeastern North America, comprising parts of the world previously ignored (different regions in Africa) and extending beyond the Old World, i.e., North America. It also takes into account the differing chronologies of the emergence of pottery before food production, which are not limited to the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, but extend as late as the middle Holocene (e.g., in Southern Africa).
This volume offers a fresh and still unexplored, global intercultural and interactive discussion on the emergence of pottery. By mapping the latest findings and variety of methodological approaches, it intends to capture both variability and common denominators of the cultural processes between the end of the Pleistocene and the early/mid-Holocene in which the production and use of pottery played a significant role among hunter-gatherers. This book is a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the role of material practices in cultural transformations in late prehistory worldwide and to the debate on how local narratives mirror different social identities, meanings, and/or functions depending on the specific economic context, settlement system, and cultural landscape. It emphasizes how transformative technologies can potentially create radical changes in the way human populations live and interact with each other. Ultimately, this volume contains valuable reflections and expectations for the future of worldwide pottery research among foragers.

À propos de l’auteur
Giulia D'Ercole is a senior researcher and lecturer (Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Germany). She has a PhD degree in Prehistory from the University La Sapienza of Rome, Italy and is specialized in African archaeology. Her research interests focus on the study of Nubian and Sudanese cultures and their ceramic traditions from later prehistory until historical times. She is an expert of laboratory methodologies for the characterization, technology of production, and provenance of ceramic materials. She has been working in North Africa since 2006 taking part in numerous international fieldwork projects in both Egypt (Farafra, Elephantine) and Sudan (Sai Island, Amara West, Attab and Ferka region, Jebel Sabaloka). She is interested in the concepts of cultural identity and encounters, as well as in the dynamics of social learning and cultural transmission expressed through material culture among prehistoric societies. She has been a post-doctoral researcher for the ERC Starting Grant Project “Across ancient borders and cultures: An Egyptian microcosm in Sudan during the 2nd millennium BC” (2013-2016) and for the ERC Consolidator Grant Project “Cultural diversity in the Middle Nile Valley. Reconstructing biographies in the periphery of urban centres in northern Sudan during the Bronze Age” (2020-2024).
Elena A.A. Garcea is a Full Professor in Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Cassino and Southern Latium, Italy. She has undertaken fieldwork and coordinated archaeological research in Sudan since 1986, conducted research projects in Libya from 1990 to 2010, and was field director of the Gobero Archaeological Project in Niger in 2005 and 2006. She is the author and editor of nine books and over 260 journal articles and book chapters on African prehistoric archaeology.
Lenka Varadzinová is senior researcher at the Czech Institute of Egyptology (Faculty of Arts, Charles University). She focuses on prehistory of Northeast Africa and more specifically on human-environment interactions, resilience, and adaptations in late Pleistocene and early Holocene Sudan, with attention turned equally to human societies and human individuals with their singular biographies. She is the director of the interdisciplinary research project concerned with prehistoric occupation in Jebel Sabaloka at the Sixth Nile Cataract in central Sudan (since 2009) and participates in the Shaqadud Project focused on late prehistoric adaptations in non-aquatic environments of the Eastern Sahel (since 2020). Since 2006, she has engaged in several surveys in Egypt, Libya, and the Sudan focused on study of rock art in the context of landscape and archaeology.
Ladislav Varadzin is senior researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. He is specialized in prehistory of Northeast Africa and the medieval period in Central Europe. He has directed more than 40 archaeological excavations in the Czech Republic and in Africa. Currently he is the director of the archaeological explorations of prehistoric occupations in Jebel Shaqadud (Eastern Sudan) and of the residence of medieval rulers at Vyšehrad (Czech Republic). He takes part in the investigations of prehistoric occupations in Jebel Sabaloka at the Sixth Nile Cataract (Sudan)

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
