Colleagues:
The annual CERAMIC ECOLOGY XXIII symposium is scheduled during the  
annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, will be  
held on Saturday, December 5, 2009, 1:00-5:00 pm in Grand Ballroom  
Salon III, Downtown Philadelphia Marriott, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,  
USA.

One of the presentations will feature recent news on ceramic studies  
(see the abstract) and I am soliciting contributions.  There will be  
brief summaries of the EMAC'09 meeting in London and the Teotihuacan  
symposium in Denver.

“From the Field and Laboratory: Current Research in Ceramic Studies.”   
Members of the informal "Ceramic Studies Interest Group" (CSIG) employ  
a variety of multifaceted approaches in the search for answers to the  
questions related to ceramic materials:  who, what, when, where, and  
why.  Current field and laboratory ceramic research from both the Old  
and New Worlds -- work that that includes the disciplines of  
archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, ethnography, archaeometry, and  
materials science.  Some of these field and laboratory investigations  
are still in progress and have not yet reached a final "paper ready"  
stage and research “in progress” also invites input from colleagues.   
Other projects have been too recently completed for a “final report”  
and, for others, results are in press, or have been too recently  
published to be generally known.  The content for this report comes  
from correspondence from the more than 200 members of the CSIG, but  
some current research is reported by members of the audience.



Traditionally, the symposiasts have dinner after the session with me  
and other Ceramic Ecology alumni and others interested in pottery.  If  
you will be in Philadelphia and want to join us, please email me for  
details on time and place -- I need a final head count in about a week.

Sincerely,

Charlie
