Reviews
""Readers will welcome this major advance in solving the enduring question of why pottery emerged in various parts of the world only towards the end of the prehistoric period It has been a great pleasure to peruse the contributions of this volume and become acquainted with the most recent developments in the quest to understand the origins of pottery--a phenomenon, as Jordan and Zvelebil note, too long equated with the Neolithic revolution."" --From the Foreword by Brian Hayden, Simon Fraser University
