moreThis item consists of two more responses to my 'Ceramic Ecology of Ayacucho' article (above) in a subsequent issue of Current Anthropology. My response was seminal in writing my book 'Ceramic Theory and Cultural Process' because of the lack of understanding of the ecological factors that influenced ceramic production that was demonstrated in the critiques to my original article. (One critic called my original article 'dangerous' because I challenged the role of culture as being an exclusive explanation of location and frequency of ceramic production.)
