Abstract
Dean E. Arnold. 2008. Social Change and the Evolution of Ceramic Production and Distribution in a Maya Community. Boulder: University Press of Colorado.
Highlights
The book is written in a clear, open and chatty style
I very much doubt that there would be widespread agreement with the assertions in the final para of page 3, there is no doubt at all that the history of archaeology will be greatly served by the publication of this book
Pottery has always had a central place in archaeology, its role evolving and reflecting the development of the discipline through the application of varied techniques, approaches and styles of research
Summary
The book is written in a clear, open and chatty style. Davis does a splendid job weaving details about family life into more complex narratives about Kenyon’s work and the controversies she seemed almost inevitably drawn to. Because it is generally restrained in its presentation of Kenyon’s life (as distinct from her work) Davis’ book avoids needless controversy and helps keep the focus on both the good (and not so good) aspects of her archaeology. Social Change and the Evolution of Ceramic Production and Distribution in a Maya Community.
