Abstract

Shott (2022, American Antiquity 87:794–815) argues that making inferences from ceramic data requires first inferring use lives of vessels—something that is difficult to do. This comment argues that the problem of differential use life becomes more tractable if the assemblage, rather than the vessel, is the unit of analysis. Aside from empirical reasons, theoretical considerations also favor the assemblage as the appropriate unit.

陶瓷单元分析与容器使用寿命问题
肖特(2022,American Antiquity 87:794-815)认为,从陶瓷数据推断需要首先推断出容器的使用寿命——这是很难做到的。这一评论认为,如果以组合而不是容器作为分析单位,那么不同使用寿命的问题就变得更容易处理。除了经验原因外,理论考虑也倾向于将组合作为适当的单位。
