This award is under the International Postdoctoral Fellows Program, which enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twelve months of research at foreign centers of proven excellence. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a four-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Anne Underhill to the Museum of the Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous District in China. The goal of Dr. Underhill's research is to examine archaeological indicators of different kinds of specialized pottery production. She wants to determine whether or not criteria described in the literature can be supported and if new criteria can be developed. She will assess vessel standardization and diversity in order to identify variation among family (household industry) specialists and individual workshop production. Dr. Underhill will also assess spatial indicators of organization of production such as number and location of work tools and size of work space. She will attempt to determine whether differences in scale and intensity of production can be recognized as well. Dr. Underhill feels that the south- central Guizhou would be an excellent study area given the quantity of communities where potters use traditional techniques. The award recommendation provides funds to cover international travel, a stipend for four months and an allowance for field expenses.

该奖项是根据国际博士后研究员计划颁发的，该计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在外国公认的卓越中心进行为期3至12个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并提供了使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。该奖项将支持安妮·昂德希尔博士对中国黔南布依族苗族自治区博物馆为期四个月的博士后研究访问。昂德希尔博士的研究目标是检验不同类型的专业陶器生产的考古学指标。她想确定文献中描述的标准是否可以支持，以及是否可以开发新的标准。她将评估船只的标准化和多样性，以确定家庭(家庭工业)专家和个人车间生产之间的差异。昂德希尔博士还将评估生产组织的空间指标，如工作工具的数量和位置以及工作空间的大小。她将试图确定是否也能认识到生产规模和强度的差异。昂德希尔博士认为，考虑到大量陶工使用传统技术的社区，贵州中南部将是一个很好的研究地区。授标建议提供国际旅费、四个月津贴和外地费用津贴。
