Andrew P. Roddick, with guidance provided by Dr. Christine Hastorf, will analyze archaeological ceramic artifacts excavated from three Late Formative Period (200 BC- AD 450) sites from the southern Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia. This period is important as it precedes the appearance of the early state of Tiwanaku (AD 450 - 1000). Currently our knowledge of the Late Formative pre-Tiwanaku period is hindered by lack of detailed research on the ceramic artifacts, which as durable artifacts inform both chronology and understanding of sociopolitical interaction. For the past three years Roddick, as a part of the Taraco Archaeological Project (TAP, directed by Dr. Christine Hastorf and Dr. Mathew Bandy) has participated in the excavation of three Late Formative sites on the Taraco Peninsula, and has conducted detailed analysis of the ceramic artifacts. The Taraco Peninsula is an ideal local to study ceramic production and consumption due to the high population density in the past and the recent history of archaeological research. Roddick will systematically trace ceramic variability from the three contemporary communities in order to better understand the social, political and economic dynamics prior to the emergence of one of the earliest states in South America.Variation in pottery stems from the choices made by potters, including changes in preferences over time. Decisions made by potters at the producer community level, drawing on local resources, are reflected in attributes of the finished products. As such pottery provides an excellent material basis for understanding how the people of Late Formative polities were transformed into the people of the Tiwanaku state. By tracking variability in pottery attributes, and the sources of clays exploited (through petrographic and chemical analysis), Roddick will track the variation in social interaction related to pottery production. By tracking spatial variability in the pottery artifacts (through analysis of excavated contexts), Roddick will investigate the spread and use of Late Formative pottery in both household settings and in increasingly complex public ceremonialism. The research on ceramic production will be the first of its kind in the region and will contribute to research on secondary lines of production evidence. This project will also contribute to the continuing scholarship on the complex social dynamics of prehistoric communities, specifically how variation in the co-participation of pottery production and consumption contributes to compositional and stylistic variation in pottery.Roddick will work closely with both Bolivian scholars and local communities. Data will be shared with local and international scholars through an open-source database, encouraging communication regarding the Late Formative Period. All findings will be presented to Bolivian agencies, and syntheses will be presented at local, regional and national meetings and scholarly publications. All presented papers will be presented on the TAP project website (http://andean.kulture.org/tap/). After research completion, the community museum will display this research on ancient pottery production and consumption in photographic displays. Tours, of both site excavations and laboratory work, will be offered to local community schools. Within the U.S., Roddick will offer outreach presentations to local Bay Area schools.

安德鲁·P·罗迪克将在克里斯汀·哈斯托夫博士的指导下，分析从玻利维亚的喀喀湖盆地南部三个形成晚期(公元前200年-公元450年)遗址出土的考古陶瓷文物。这一时期很重要，因为它早于提瓦纳库(公元450-1000)早期状态的出现。目前，由于缺乏对陶瓷制品的详细研究，我们对形成晚期的前提瓦纳库时期的认识受到阻碍，因为陶瓷制品作为耐久的文物，既提供了年表，也提供了对社会政治互动的理解。在过去的三年里，罗迪克作为塔拉科考古项目(TAP，由Christine Hastorf博士和Mathew Bandy博士指导)的一部分，参与了塔拉科半岛三个晚期形成遗址的挖掘，并对陶瓷文物进行了详细的分析。塔拉科半岛是研究陶瓷生产和消费的理想地方，因为过去人口密度高，考古研究的历史也很近。罗迪克将系统地追踪三个当代社区的陶瓷变化，以便更好地了解南美洲最早的国家之一出现之前的社会、政治和经济动态。陶器的变化源于陶工的选择，包括随着时间的推移偏好的变化。陶工利用当地资源在生产者社区一级做出的决定反映在成品的属性中。因此，陶器提供了一个极好的物质基础，以了解后期形成政治的人民是如何转变为提瓦纳库国人民的。通过跟踪陶器属性的可变性和开发的粘土来源(通过岩相学和化学分析)，罗迪克将跟踪与陶器生产相关的社会互动的变化。通过追踪陶器文物的空间变异性(通过对出土环境的分析)，罗迪克将调查晚期成型陶器在家庭环境和日益复杂的公共仪式中的传播和使用。这项关于陶瓷生产的研究将是该地区此类研究的第一项，并将有助于对二次线生产证据的研究。该项目还将有助于继续研究史前社区复杂的社会动态，特别是陶器生产和消费共同参与的变化如何导致陶器成分和风格的变化。罗迪克将与玻利维亚学者和当地社区密切合作。数据将通过开放源码数据库与当地和国际学者共享，鼓励就形成后期进行交流。所有调查结果将提交玻利维亚各机构，综合报告将在地方、区域和国家会议和学术出版物上提交。所有提交的论文将在TAP项目网站(http://andean.kulture.org/tap/).)上公布研究完成后，社区博物馆将以摄影形式展示这项关于古代陶器生产和消费的研究成果。将向当地社区学校提供遗址挖掘和实验室工作的参观。在美国国内，罗迪克将向旧金山湾区的当地学校提供外展演讲。
