more useful in frequency seriations for chronology. He also concludes that interpretations of activity patterns (e.g. estimates of where cooking occurred) are complicated by the fact that they “are the product of differences in [pottery] type use lives as much as they are the product of ancient pot-using behavior” (p 173). This is a very detailed study of an important issue in archaeology, but I suspect that only a few dedicated readers will need the level of detail presented, particularly in Chapter 6. I hope that archaeologists, especially those who work with pottery, will consider applying some of Shott’s findings to their pottery data and add comparative data to this case study and the others Shott discussed so thoroughly. This is a study of the minutia of archaeology, but the implications of research like this are important.

在年表的频率序列中更有用。他还得出结论，对活动模式的解释（例如对烹饪发生地点的估计）是复杂的，因为它们“是[陶器]类型使用寿命差异的产物，也是古代使用锅行为的产物” （第 173 页）。这是对考古学中一个重要问题的非常详细的研究，但我怀疑只有少数热心的读者需要详细介绍，特别是在第 6 章中。我希望考古学家，尤其是那些从事陶器工作的人，考虑申请Shott 的一些发现到他们的陶器数据中，并将比较数据添加到这个案例研究中，其他 Shott 讨论得如此彻底。这是对考古学细节的研究，但此类研究的意义很重要。
