Ancient Pottery for Beginners: Why Archaeologists Study Ceramics
OI Museum Collections Talk Series

In this installation of our Collections Talk! James Osborne, Assistant Professor of Anatolian Archaeology, will discuss the three main reasons why archaeologists spend so much time working with ceramics. Learn why the potsherds found in fieldwork are actually the most important artifact class that archaeologists encounter.
