Item description from seller

TRADITIONAL POTTERY TECHNIQUES OF PAKISTAN, FIELD AND LABORATORY STUDIES (Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Number 21), Owen S. Rye and Clifford Evans, softcover, richly illustrated with over 100 B/W photos and drawings, first edition, 1976. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block and illustrations are in near fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. This is a former library book. The wraps are in generally good condition (lightly bumped spine, call number label on spine, a few spots on both front and back, address label affixed to back cover). 11 ½ x 9 ½, 283 pages, 36 ounces XX [The abstract] The first part of this work deals with detailed observations obtained during four field expeditions (1967-1971) in Pakistan, for pottery making of unglazed ware in 13 areas and glazed ware in 5 major centers. For each center a brief outline of the area is given, followed by an outline of the potter's craft under the following guidelines: tools and equipment, materials gathering and preparation, forming and finishing techniques, decoration (including slips and pigments), glazing, kilns and firing, and types of ware. Most of the common pottery-making techniques in Pakistan are included although fieldwork was primarily in the Northwest Frontier Province and Panjab. Pottery-related crafts such as brickmaking and tanur (bread oven) making are briefly discussed. In the second part of this work detailed relationships between pottery-making techniques, outlined in the first section, are developed under the headings of tools and equipment, materials, forming and finishing techniques, slips, pigments and colorants, glazes, and kilns and firing. Technical studies include mineralogy studies of clays and tempering materials, particle size distribution studies of non-plastic tempering materials, and electron microprobe analyses of fired glazes. The monograph provides essential data for use in comparative studies of archeological ceramics from Pakistan, as well as a detailed record of the rapidly disappearing pottery crafts of that country, including five appendixes and a glossary.…
