It thus seemed that conditions for a stra tigraphicalexcavation did not exist at Shahr-i Sokhta, since most of the deposit itself had been lost. But Stein soon defined it as a great deposit of prehistoric pottery; this was confirmed by a short trial dig about 40 cm. deep. ...

On the basis of an experimental study, this paper proposes to re-examine the criteria of ceramic forming processes. Interpretation of the physical reaction of clay to hydric and mechanical stress helps to show the relationship between microfabrics and ceramic forming processes. Integrated analysis of surface features and microfabrics allows us to distinguish wheel throwing from wheel shaping of coil-built roughouts and gives us information that we can apply to a study of 3rd millennium archaeological materials from

It is surprising, therefore, to recognize how little detailed archaeological research has explored the rates of population growth and how they might be related to social crowding in early village social environments. Combining archaeological and ethnographic perspectives, this article explores the possible links between demographic change, possible social crowding, and reasons for the "collapse" of large aggregate villages occupied between approximately 8500 to 8000 years before present. Reflection upon the timing, estimated magnitude, and rate of demographic change prompts the researcher to reconsider the perceived links between sedentism, food production, and the emergence of social inequality in the context of early agricultural villages of the south-central Levant.
