The proposed research is to undertake ethno-archaeological and experimental investigation on ceramic manufacture in the Southwest region of Alaska to better understand the social, economic, and environmental context of indigenous pottery production. The pottery of this region is of particular interest because of its unrefined character and the fact that it was utilized among mobile hunter-gatherers - a very rare occurrence, pottery being primarily adopted for use by sedentary groups. The proposal, which at its core is based on archaeological theory, is unique in two ways: a) the design involves interviewing local people to gain insight into archaeological phenomenon, b) the PI will do experiments to better understand the production and use of the ceramics.

拟议的研究是对阿拉斯加西南地区的陶瓷制造进行民族考古和实验调查，以更好地了解土著陶器生产的社会，经济和环境背景。这个地区的陶器特别令人感兴趣，因为它的原始特征，以及它被移动的狩猎采集者使用的事实--这是一种非常罕见的情况，陶器主要被定居的群体使用。该提案的核心是基于考古学理论，在两个方面是独一无二的：a）设计涉及采访当地人，以深入了解考古现象，B）PI将做实验，以更好地了解陶瓷的生产和使用。
