The Ceramics Research Group is directed by Marilyn Beaudry-Corbett , Research Associate and Archaeology Program alumna. The group acts an information center on ceramics and ceramic analysis, offering practical experience to students and researchers, and maintaining a dialogue among a large community of ceramic specialists at UCLA and in its surrounding areas. The group holds at least one event per academic quarter attended by Cotsen Institute affiliates and interested parties from other colleges and universities. One such event is the Dockweiler Beach Pit Firing at which attendees are invited to bring ceramics to fire at the beach.

The group also maintains several type collections as well as a library of books, sets of slides, and videos purchased with funds from the biennially offered ceramic analysis class.

The Construction of Value

Scholars from Aristotle to Marx and beyond have been fascinated by the question of what constitutes value. The Construction of Value in the Ancient World makes a significant contribution to this ongoing inquiry, bringing together in one comprehensive volume the perspectives of leading anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, linguists, philologists, and sociologists on how value was created, defined, and expressed in a number of ancient societies around the world. Based on the basic premise that value is a social construct defined by the cultural context in which it is situated, the volume explores four overarching but closely interrelated themes: place value, body value, object value, and number value. The questions raised and addressed are of central importance to archaeologists studying ancient civilizations: How can we understand the value that might have been accorded to materials, objects, people, places, and patterns of action by those who produced or used the things that compose the human material record? Taken as a whole, the contributions to this volume demonstrate how the concept of value lies at the intersection of individual and collective tastes, desires, sentiments, and attitudes that inform the ways people select, or give priority to, one thing over another.
