Abstract
First results of the comparative technology of Kura-Araxes pottery and its derivatives are presented, including analyses ofKhirbet Kerak Ware and local traditions from Tel Bet Yerah (Khirbet Kerak) and material from two sites in Armenia: the fourth millennium site ofAparan III and the third millennium site ofKar-nut I. Petrographic and chaine operatoire analysis suggests that all three industries are entirely local and share a series ofcharacteristics that set them apart from non-Kura-Araxes industries: technological conservatism, priority of surface treatment, non-correlation of form to fabric, variability of fabric, and separation from cooking ware. These results support the contention that the spread of the tradition should be associated with migration and diaspora communities.
