Archaeology and Anthropology Final Year Topic: Repair Traces and the Social Life of Ceramic Objects

This Archaeology and Anthropology final year project investigates what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use. The proposed evidence comes from lawfully held teaching objects and authorised high-resolution photographs, with the study limited to an agreed, feasible corpus or production setting.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use connects a specific creative or cultural problem to evidence you can document. Using lawfully held teaching objects and authorised high-resolution photographs keeps the work concrete and gives you a basis for comparing alternatives rather than relying only on personal preference.

What can the proposed study establish about what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use?

Choose the specific corpus, venue or creative materials and agree the evaluation criteria for what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use before starting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the criteria needed to investigate what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use.
  2. 02Document a bounded evidence set using lawfully held teaching objects and authorised high-resolution photographs.
  3. 03Describe repair location and technique while comparing multiple possible functional explanations.

A suggested research approach

Confirm access, permissions and a manageable scope for lawfully held teaching objects and authorised high-resolution photographs. Describe repair location and technique while comparing multiple possible functional explanations. Keep dated process notes and distinguish observations from interpretation. Obtain required approvals before involving people, venues or protected material; record unsuccessful trials as well as successful examples.

What you will need

  • Authorised access to lawfully held teaching objects and authorised high-resolution photographs
  • A documentation and analysis plan for what documented repairs may reveal about continued object use
  • Relevant equipment or editions, attribution records and required participant or site permissions

Keep your project scope clear

Repair traces cannot by themselves establish an owner's emotions or an object's economic value.
