Abstract
[Extract] This study explores the gendered division of labor in pottery manufacture and salt production during prehistory at Ban Non Wat, in northeastern Thailand. Our analysis relies on three principal sources of data: (1) ethnographic observations on the organization of pottery and salt production in contemporary northeastern Thai communities, (2) archaeological data on ceramic and salt manufacture at Ban Non Wat, and (3) surveys of raw materials used in pottery and salt manufacture. We interpret the production of contemporary and prehistoric pottery and salt making using as a guide Cathy Lynne Costin's (2000) four parameters: context, concentration, scale, and intensity.
