Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 2002.

This thesis examines the commonplace framework of assumptions that have been in use in Huron ceramic analysis. Customary views on Huron pots, potters and potting systems are revisited here in light of extant ethnographic and ethnohistorical literature pertaining to traditional pottery manufacture, use and discard and, at an analytical level, through the testing of selected ceramic samples from three contact period Huron sites---Ball (BdGv-3), Auger (BdGw-3), and Thomson-Walker (BeGv-3). Using a multi-component, multi-scalar research design, this work singles out three important problems in Huron ceramic analysis - vessel function, population relocations and ethnicity, the organization of ceramic production---and explores the implications of data analysis and corroborating evidence for our understanding of each. Previously, none of these issues have received extensive treatment since it has been thought that: (1) Huron pottery was simply made and did not incorporate functional categories; (2) production was simply organized, carried out in the household and therefore geared toward self-sufficiency, and; (3) women decorated their pots only according to personal or family tradition and choice.

Customary views on Huron pots, potters and potting systems are revisited here in light of extant ethnographic and ethnohistorical literature pertaining to traditional pottery manufacture, use and discard and, at an analytical level, through the testing of selected ceramic samples from three contact period Huron sites---Ball (BdGv-3), Auger (BdGw-3), and Thomson-Walker (BeGv-3). Using a multi-component, multi-scalar research design, this work singles out three important problems in Huron ceramic analysis - vessel function, population relocations and ethnicity, the organization of ceramic production---and explores the implications of data analysis and corroborating evidence for our understanding of each. Previously, none of these issues have received extensive treatment since it has been thought that: (1) Huron pottery was simply made and did not incorporate functional categories; (2) production was simply organized, carried out in the household and therefore geared toward self-sufficiency, and; (3) women decorated their pots only according to personal or family tradition and choice.
520 $a A multivariate approach to artifact analysis was used to help identify multiple layers and meanings of "stylistic" attributes on Huron pots. It assisted in the identification of potential functional categories of vessels, including strong correlations between decorative attributes and vessel size classes, which suggests future function-oriented research is needed. When combined with the concept of micro-style (i.e., patterned behaviours in individual, family and community manufacturing practices and traditions), this approach revealed intra-village exchanges and the relocation of potters between successive villages. In the future, a micro-stylistic approach will prove more meaningful for reconstructing tribal or ethnic territories and affiliations.
520 $a The skill and standardization levels observed on Huron vessels from the Ball and Auger sites were quite high, and alongside the widespread intra-village distribution of products of single potters, hints at a higher level of productive organization than normally presumed. Therefore, this work recognizes the need for a better informed understanding of the nature of craft production in Huron communities and its role in local and regional economies.
