微体化石可能是古代陶瓷制品的常见组成部分。他们在这种不寻常的背景下进行的分析是微体古生物学的一个鲜为人知但很有前途的跨学科应用。本文首次详细评估了古陶瓷中的微体化石现象，并展示了微体古生物学如何有助于考古陶瓷分析和重建人类过去的一系列问题。在描述一种方法，微体古生物学家和考古学家可以分析microameriferous陶瓷，本文提出了一种方法，这是在这里被称为“陶瓷微体古生物学”的基础。
Microfossils can be a common component of ancient ceramic artefacts. Their analysis in this unusual context is a little-known, yet promising, cross-disciplinary application of micropalaeontology. This article presents the first detailed assessment of the phenomenon of microfossils in ancient ceramics and demonstrates how micropalaeontology can contribute to a range of issues in archaeological ceramic analysis and the reconstruction of the human past. In describing a methodology by which micropalaeontologists and archaeologists can analyse microfossiliferous ceramics, this paper presents the foundations of an approach, which is here referred to as ‘ceramic micropalaeontology’.
