Abstract:		 Papers from a conference on different approaches to pottery assemblages. R F Jones (pp 1-5) outlines the potential of pottery for studies other than dating. I A Hodder (7-23) uses pottery from Kenya to identify groups and examine social constraints affecting distributions, although M Spriggs and D Miller (23-34) suggest from ethnographic work in E Indonesia that some factors affecting distributions are not discernible archaeologically. M Millett (35-48) analyses S English pottery as a functional artefact to reconstruct site activities, with special reference to Portchester fort. Problems of urban pottery are discussed by P Crummy and R Terry (49-60), the effects of residual pottery (and coins) on seriation techniques, and C R Orton (61-71) on pottery records for metropolitan sites. D F Williams (73-6) evaluates the potential of petrological analysis; M Millett (77-80) discusses the various ways of quantifying pottery. R Reece (81-5) in conclusion argues for an agnostic approach to assemblages to prevent historically biased inferences (eg was the Portchester occupation military?) D G
