Notes: British Museum Occasional Paper No. 81.   Conference papers.   “These 17 papers attempt to provide a general overview of current methods and applied techniques of ceramic petrology, including discussions on ceramic technology, provenance determinations, and computer and statistical analysis.  Most of the papers discuss Old World ceramic collections; however, the methods and techniques discussed are applicable to ceramic petrology studies in any archaeological setting.  The majority of the papers apply petrologic techniques to identify ceramic provenance.” (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/gea.3340070305 )  A number of papers on European, African, Mediterranean ceramics, with only two dealing with Western Hemisphere topics (Peru, Maya).
