Dissertation Research: Use Alteration of Pottery

在威廉·朗埃克博士的指导下，詹姆斯·斯基博先生将 对传统卡林加陶瓷进行了一系列的分析。 研究结果将为他的博士论文提供依据 论文 卡林加人是菲律宾传统的农业家， 是世界上人数不断减少的民族之一， 还在生产陶瓷供自己使用。 多年来， 朗埃克博士和他的学生记录了这一过程， 我观察了成品在日常生活中的使用情况 活动 一大批这样的船只已被观察到， 使用，收集，现在居住在亚利桑那大学。 先生 Skibo将对其中的一个样本进行两种分析。 首先，他将进行SEM研究，以检查表面磨损， 磨损 因为实际使用的详细信息是 他应该能够将人为原因与 微观效应 第二，他会试图从 酸，在烹饪过程中被吸收到陶瓷织物中， 以测试测定食物含量的可行性。 这些 酸在烹饪过程中不会被热破坏。 因为陶器不易降解， 一万多年来，它构成了考古学的一个主要类别， 仍然存在。 虽然史前史学家已经投入了大量的精力 注重陶瓷材料的风格分析， 不存在确定实际用途的令人满意的技术。 斯基博先生的研究有望有助于开发出几种 这将是足够普遍的，以允许在广泛的应用， 各种各样的情况。 因为太多的信息 可用于卡林加材料，他们提供了一个很好的 这种技术开发项目的控制情况。

Under the direction of Dr. William Longacre, Mr. James Skibo will conduct a series of analyses on traditional Kalinga ceramics. The results will provide the basis for his doctoral dissertation thesis. The Kalinga, traditional Philippine agriculturalists, are one of an ever decreasing group of peoples in the world who still manufacture ceramics for their own use. For many years, Dr. Longacre and his students have recorded this process and watched how the finished products are employed in everyday activities. A large series of such vessels have been observed in use, collected, and now reside at the University of Arizona. Mr. Skibo will carry out two kinds of analysis on a sample of them. First, he will conduct an SEM study to examine surface wear and abrasion. Because detailed information on actual use is available, he should be able to match human induced cause with microscopic effect. Secondly, he will attempt to extract fatty acids, which are absorbed into the ceramic fabric during cooking, to test the feasibility of determining food contents. These acids are not heat destroyed during the cooking process. Because pottery resists degradation and has been widely used for over 10,000 years, it constitutes a major class of archaeological remains. While prehistorians have devoted great deal of attention to the stylistic analysis of ceramic materials, satisfactory techniques do not exist to determine actual uses. Mr. Skibo's research will, hopefully, serve to develop several which will be general enough to allow application in a wide variety of circumstances. Because so much information is available for the Kalinga materials, they provide an excellent controlled situation for such a technique development project.
