Study of cultural-heritage objects with embellished realistic and abstract designs made up of connected and intertwined curves crosscuts a number of related disciplines, including archaeology, art history, and heritage management. However, many objects, such as pottery sherds found in the archaeological record, are fragmentary, making the underlying complete designs unknowable at the scale of t...

During the past few years, many publications about computer applications in the field of drawing, classification and analysis of archaeological pottery have been presented at various congresses by various researchers. This paper will review and analyze the most relevant works published so far. It focuses on computer applications oriented towards the graphical visualization and analysis of data ...

Using the example of pottery imported into the Channel ports of southern England, an approach to examining the role of pottery in the emergence and mediation of coastal communities is proposed here. Building on recent scholarship, it is argued that it is no longer tenable to see pottery as a carrier of identity, or as part of a ‘cultural package’, with meaning emerging with identity as people i...

Virtual Pottery is an interactive audiovisual piece that uses hand gesture to create 3D pottery objects and sound shape. Using the OptiTrack motion capture (Rigid Body) system at TransLab in UCSB, performers can take a glove with attached trackers, move the hand in x, y, and z axis and create their own sound pieces. Performers can also manipulate their pottery pieces in real time and change arr...

Pottery is considered as one of the most representative categories of artifacts in the cultural heritage domain. Nowadays, several 3D digitized replicas are publicly available over the Web. The content richness of 3D pottery is of great importance in the archaeological research domain. This information can be used by special software tools that will provide the archaeologist with automated shap...

Petrographic thin sections of pottery from five Formative Mexican archaeological sites show that exchanges of vessels between highland and lowland chiefly centers were reciprocal, or two-way. These analyses contradict recent claims that the Gulf Coast was the sole source of pottery carved with iconographic motifs. Those claims were based on neutron activation, which, by relying on chemical elem...
