Abstract
Building on the work of Hally (1983a), this chapter discusses the processes that govern carbon deposition on pottery. This includes a discussion of the carbon patterns on Kalinga cooking vessels and an exploration of the factors that are important in this process. Several experiments are performed to determine how factors such as distance to fire, type of wood, and the presence of moisture affect carbon deposition.
