Shepard is one of the foundational works in archaeological ceramic analysis. First published in 1956, it is a comprehensive scientific treatise on pottery analysis. Shepard's goal was to bring rigorous laboratory methods — petrography, mineralogy, and chemical analysis — into archaeological interpretation. The Carnegie Science profile describes it as a "comprehensive review of the properties and sources of ceramic materials, ceramic practices, analytical techniques, and pottery classification from both cultural and functional perspectives." It quickly became a standard reference, going through numerous reprintings over three decades. XX Contents and scope: I. Ceramic Materials. Composition, sources, and properties of clays, Texture, plasticity, impurities, Effects of heat and firing stages, Nonplastic materials (tempers) and their functions, Pigments, paints, and glazes. II. Ceramic Processes & Pre Wheel Techniques. Clay preparation and testing, Forming methods: modeling, coiling, paddling, molding, Surface finishing: smoothing, polishing, slipping, Decorative techniques, Firing methods, fuel, atmosphere control, smudging. XX This makes the book not only a scientific manual but also an ethnographic and technological survey of pottery production. Scientific contribution: Shepard pioneered the use of petrographic thin section analysis in archaeology — a technique borrowed from geology to identify minerals and temper in pottery. Her work demonstrated that pottery could be treated as scientific evidence, not just cultural artifacts.".…
