It shows how using a variety of anthropological methods to answer an archaeological question yields an intriguing glimpse into the lives of glass-blowers in antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Fischer's research on glassmaking in Byzantine and modern times demonstrates the vast potential for developing—in her words—an 'Anthropology of Craft' that integrates theory, methods, and findings from all subdisciplines. Innovative and impressive, Hot Pursuit will likely change the way anthropologists study technology. -- Michael Brian Schiffer, Fred A. Riecker Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of Arizona\u003cbr\u003eWhether she is discussing archaeological debris patterns, ancient furnace design, resource acquisition, or modern-day glass shops, Fischer pulls her reader into the heat, smoke, and glare of the glass workshop. She makes a good case for the utility of an integrated anthropological approach to the history of technology, and the resulting effort enriches our appreciation of the glass vessels we excavate, study, and admire by helping us catch a glimpse of the glassblowers who made them. -- Janet Duncan Jones, Bucknell University * American Journal of Archaeology, 114.1 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 Preface Chapter 2 In Pursuit of Glass Chapter 3 Glass Trade in Ancient Palestine Chapter 4 Glassblowing at Sepphoris Chapter 5 Experimenting with Furnaces Chapter 6 Glass Ethnoarchaeology Chapter 7 Acquiring Glass Skills Chapter 8 Physical Effects of Glassblowing Chapter 9 An Anthropology of Craft Part 10 Glossary Part 11 Bibliography Part 12 Index Part 13 About the Author","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037397844311,"sku":"9780739109601","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739109601.jpg?v=1750935606","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hot-pursuit-integrating-anthropology-in-search-of-ancient-glassblowers-9780739109601","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
